Thanks Annie,

I have been asking myself how rare is MuSK MG? Is it really that rare or is it mostly undiagnosed?

Seeing this algorithm of the diagnostic process in patients with clinically suspected MG from a large/leading medical center, made me ask myself how often do neurologists dismiss patients without even checking for MuSK.

Furthermore, what is the true sensitivity of the currently used serological tests to detect AchR and MuSK antibodies?

How many patients with MuSK are still managed as " nothing"?
