摘要
Myasthenia gravis may be observed due to treatment with penicillamine (D-PA). The sulphoxidation capacity was measured in nine Swedish patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who had developed myasthenia gravis toward D-PA. The results show that in eight of nine patients tested, this parameter was markedly reduced. A patient with poor sulphoxidation capacity has a twelve-fold greater risk of developing this rare side effect. The significance of this is discussed.
