Abstract

A prospective multicenter study on the incidence of myasthenia gravis (MG) based on 2,924,710 people was performed from 1993 to 1994. The crude annual incidence rate of new diagnoses was 14.7:1,000,000. This study emphasizes the importance of a prospective multicenter approach in evaluating the true frequency of the disease.
