"Thyroid disease should be vigorously treated - both hypoand hyperthyroidism adversely affect myasthenic weakness . . . infections require immediate attention because they exacerbate MG and can be life threatening in patients who are immunosuppressed."
For more information on MG and the thyroid see:
