    AbstractMyasthenia gravis (MG) is a disorder affecting neuromuscular transmission with heterogeneous manifestations and treatments. This study describes clinical features and management of MG patients at a metropolitan hospital in Australia. Overall findings were consistent with previously published data. However, frequency of intravenous immuno-globulin use was higher, reasons for which are explored. Management is best conducted through specialist clinics with necessary expertise and standardised treatment protocols.© 2019 Royal Australasian College of Physicians.
