A patient with human immunodeficiency virus infection had cellular and humoral immune
responses studied longitudinally from the onset of generalized myasthenia gravis.
Progressive decline in CD4+, CD45R+ and CD4+, CDw29+ T-cells, cellular immune
responses to alloantigen and mitogen stimulation, and acetylcholine receptor antibody titers
were associated with clinical improvement of all myasthenic symptoms.
