[Epidemic of myasthenia in the Krasnodar Krai].
Distribution of myasthenia in the Krasnodar Territory, its clinical course and outcomes were studied on 143 patients admitted for that disease to the neurological divisions of the Krasnodar City hospitals within a period of 25 years. Prevalence of generalized progressing forms of myasthenia was observed. A comparison of the disease incidence in various districts of the Territory with some biogeochemical factors (country relief, soil structure, etc.) showed that myasthenia was the most frequent in people living in the regions of the Azov Sea coast with its salt marshes.
