Myasthenia gravis is malignant, also known as acute muscular atrophy, and is one of the diseases that leads to a rapid decline in muscle strength up to complete paralysis in which there is no attempt to do anything, the person becomes like a “wax figure” and suffers from dry mouth and tongue, his performance decreases and death occurs within two to three months.
As a rule, if the patient continues to eat, this only leads to “loss” of teeth and subsequent secondary infection of the soft tissues. The only effective way to help such a patient is complete parenteral nutrition, in other words, feeding through intravenous administration of nutrient solutions. Patients can usually be fed either by the patient’s relatives or by specially trained caregivers. A patient who is to be fed intravenously is placed in a special hospital with a department for infectious patients. Complications are observed mainly in patients over the age of seventy years, as well as those who suffer from cerebral circulatory disorders. One of the main complications of myasthenia gravis is myasthenic crisis or the acute phase of myasthenia.
