Abstract:Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a kind of acquired autoimmune disease with neuromuscular junction transmission disorder, which is always characterized by insidious onset. It is progressive or develops alternately with remission and recurrence, and can be induced or aggravated by infection, fatigue and other factors. Combined with the discussion of related symptoms of MG in the ancient literature and the modern researches, it is believed that hidden pathogen plays an important role in the pathogenesis of MG. Therefore, in the treatment of MG, on the basis of supplementing deficiency, attention should be paid to the differentiation and treatment of hidden pathogen. In the acute stage, reinforcing deficiency shouled be paid equal attention with eliminating pathogenic factors. In the remission stage, gradually reduce eliminating pathogenic factors while increase efforts to reinforcing deficiency. Reinforcing deficiency mainly benefits spleen and kidney, while eliminating pathogens is given different treatment methods according different factors: pathogenic toxin, heat, dampness, phlegm and blood stasis.
