  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

 Since the early case reports of D-penicillamine-induced myasthenia gravis (D-Pen MG) by Miehlke and by Bucknall, the study of D-Pen MG has been pursued in the hope that the understanding of this rare adverse effect of D-Pen may lead us to elucidation of the real cause of myasthenia gravis. Unfortunately, this has not become the case. It may be worth reviewing the recent progress on the research of D-Pen MG.

 The accurate incidence of D-PenMG is unknown, but is estimated about 0.5% among the patients with rheumatoid arthritis taking D-Pen. The clinical manifestation of D-Pen MG is similar to that of spontaneous MG, except that the prognosis of D-Pen MG is generally better. In some cases, however, extensive therapy was necessary, and cases with thymic hyperplasia were also reported.
