Development of myasthenia gravis 8 years after interstitial lung disease associated with antisynthetase (anti‐EJ antibody) syndrome

Patients with antisynthetase‐positive interstitial lung disease (ILD) alone sometimes develop myositis during follow‐up, but myasthenia gravis (MG) overlapping on antisynthetase syndrome is unusual.

Sumario:Patients with antisynthetase‐positive interstitial lung disease (ILD) alone sometimes develop myositis during follow‐up, but myasthenia gravis (MG) overlapping on antisynthetase syndrome is unusual. A 56‐year‐old woman with ILD and anti‐EJ antibody treated for 8 years developed MG. Physicians should consider myositis and MG when patients develop muscle symptoms during follow‐up.
