Abstract
Myasthenia gravis is a rare autoimmune disease, the clinical picture of myasthenia gravis is manifested by fluctuating weakness, pathological muscle fatigue and it is difficult for clinicians to diagnose it appropriately. The article presents a clinical case of misdiagnosis of late-onset myasthenia gravis, it provides a chronology of the development of symptoms of the disease and an analysis of the difficulties of differential diagnosis. Despite the typical manifestations of myasthenia gravis, the patient did not receive propriate pathogenetic therapy for a long time, while he was prescribed drugs that block neuromuscular conduction and worsen the course of the disease.
