## Abstract We report our experience with singleβfiber electromyogrphy (SFβEMG), acetylcholine receptor antibody assays, and Lancaster RedβGreen tests of ocular motility with edrophonium chloride in the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis (MG). Over a period of almost 3 years, 43 patients in whom repeti

## Abstract A 26βyearβold woman was in spontaneous clinical remission from myasthenia gravis (MG) for six months, yet gave birth to a fullβterm infant with typical neonatal MG. It is believed that transplacental transfer of antiβacetylcholine (ACh) receptor antibodies is responsible for neonatal MG
We performed single fiber electromyography by axonal stimulation (SFEMG-AS) of the frontalis muscle of 16 patients with ocular myasthenia gravis (OM) and 33 controls. In the controls, values of mean consecutive differences (MCD) ranged from 5 to 55 micros (average, 14.7 +/- 2.8 micros) and mean MCD
