[Efferent methods in the complex treatment of myasthenia gravis].
The results obtained with exchange plasmapheresis and hemosorption used as elements of myasthenic patient preparation for thymectomy and postoperative treatment are summarized. The efferent methods were used in 95 patients, and positive shifts were recorded by electromyography and immunologic studies. Isolated or combined use of exchange plasmapheresis and hemosorption in severe myasthenia makes it possible to prevent postoperative myasthenic crisis and prolong remission or essentially improve patient's condition at late dates after thymectomy.
