The immunologic mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of these disorders have not always been thought to be the same. Recently a case of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura was reported (1), and it was suggested that a common mechanism may be involved in both diseases. Our observations in a patient with the above two conditions associated with myasthenia gravis, a disorder also suspected to be of autoimmune nature, gives further evidence that a common immunologic mechanism may be present.At age 18 our patient was hospitalized for evaluation of...References1.
