Abstract
We investigated the hypothesis that a persistent viral infection of the thymus gland might trigger the autoimmune disease myasthenia gravis (MG). Thymus glands of nine patients with recent onset of MG were studied by a variety of techniques to detect the presence of occult viruses. No evidence of viral infection was found.
