[The effect of corticoids on bone tissue in myasthenia gravis].
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease where corticoids are the basis of therapy. They are taken for short periods in large amounts, as well as for prolonged periods in medium or small doses. The authors investigated in the described groups the effect of corticoids on bone tissue. They provided evidence of a significant effect on the diffraction pattern, geometrical arrangement of the apatite grid and ion changes in relation to the period of corticoid administration without significant clinical manifestations of osteoporosis, when respecting therapeutic principles.
