This document provides information on several immunologic disorders: - Lyme disease, which is caused by a bacterial infection from an infected tick bite and can cause symptoms from a target rash to joint and neurological problems over time. - Myasthenia gravis, an autoimmune disease that causes muscle weakness and fatigue and can be tested for using a Tensilon test. - Guillain-Barr└ syndrome, an acute immune-mediated polyneuropathy where the immune system attacks the peripheral nerve myelin, causing weakness that typically starts in the legs and can involve respiratory muscles. Diagnosis involves lumbar puncture and electromyography.

Cause of Myasthenia Gravis ＊ Unknown ＊ One of many ＾autoimmune diseases￣ ＊ A basic problem with the immune system - parts of it are overactive ＊ Individuals with MG and their family members more likely to have one of these other autoimmune diseases

Immune disorders
GBS ? acute immune-mediated polyneuropathies ? Peripheral nerve myelin is target of an immune attack ? Starts at level of nerve root=conduction blocks & muscle weakness ? Eventually get widespread patchy demyelination= increased paralysis
Risk Factor ? More in men ? Recent vaccination ? Recent GIT or Respiratory system infection ? Recent surgery
Clinical Features: ?Progressive, fairly symmetric muscle weakness -typically starts in proximal legs -10% will 1st develop weakness in face or arms ? Diminished DTR ? severe resp muscle weakness in 10- 30% pts ? oropharyngeal weakness in ~ 50%
Diagnosis: elevated CSF protein w/ normal WBC (80-90% pts) ? Electromyography (EMG) helps confirm diagnosis = prolonged or absent F waves
