Myasthenia Gravis at the University of Michigan Medical Center

　It is an honor to be asked to address the Japanese Myasthenia Gravis Committee. I must admit that in the more recent years I have not been personally involved to a great degree in the subjects of myasthenia gravis and the neuromuscular diseases, although they were early interests of mine, and I did carry out some investigations on them some years ago. It so happens, however, that one of my associates, Dr. Martha Westerberg, has devoted a major portion of her clinical and research interest to myasthenia.
