Description
Rebecca Kjaer Andersen and co-authors study patients whose muscle weakness disease shows no antibodies in blood tests in work dated two thousand twenty-six. The disease, myasthenia gravis, is an immune attack on the junction between nerve and muscle. About one in ten patients in past reports had no detectable antibodies and were classed as seronegative.
The team reviewed charts for three hundred fifty patients at a center in Copenhagen. Only fifteen, a smaller share than past reports, were seronegative. Those patients matched the rest on age, sex, symptoms, other illness, treatment, and delay before diagnosis. The likeness supports the view that both forms share the same root process, perhaps through antibodies not yet found.
