Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Myasthenia gravis is a chronic, progressive neuromuscular disease that causes sporadic weakness and fatigue of skeletal muscles. It is caused by an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system attacks the receptors that allow nerve impulses to communicate with muscles.

It is a rare disease that affects both men and women, and can occur at any age, but is more common in women under 40 and men older than 60.
