Multiple antibody detection in 'seronegative' myasthenia gravis patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Investigations on cause of death may provide valuable information about life expectancy and on conditions of terminal dementia care, which perhaps can be ameliorated. METHODS:The autopsy reports were studied on all patients (n = 524; 55.3% females; median age 80 years) with a clinically and neuropathologica...
