摘要：
Symposia dedicated to myasthenia gravis and related disorders date back to 1947 and serve as markers of the progress for the field. We provide a brief historical review of therapy development through the lens of the publications that arose from the close to quinquennial meetings that have been supported nearly since their inception by the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America and the New York Academy of Sciences. One can appreciate great advances, false starts, and dead ends that are found in all fields of medicine. We tally up the score card for MG and find points scored, but the win is not yet close.
