It has been suggested that interleukin-17 (IL-17) plays a crucial role in the development of several autoimmune diseases. However, there are no data about the relationship between myasthenia gravis and IL-17. The aim of this study was to measure the concentration of IL-17 and determine whether levels depend on the severity of MG. Serum IL-17 concentrations were measured in 25 patients. IL-17 concentrations were higher in generalized MG compared with controls and correlated with anti-acetylcholinesterase receptor antibody titers. Muscle Nerve 44: 278-280, 2011
