Abstract
We report favorable results of the long term use of mycophenolate in the treatment of three patients with myasthenia gravis (MG), two patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), one patient with secondary polymyositis (PM), and one patient with inclusion body myositis (IBM). Side effects were mild. Mycophenolate appears to be a useful addition to the armamentarium of immunosuppressants for treatment of chronic immunologically mediated neuromuscular diseases.
