TI  - Anti-MuSK myasthenia gravis presenting with Epstein-Barr virus-associated 
      mononucleosis and immune-mediated diabetes mellitus.
PG  - 264-6
AB  - We report a young woman with the abrupt onset of infectious mononucleosis due to 
      Epstein-Barr virus associated with a subsequent autoimmune form of diabetes 
      mellitus and myasthenia gravis with anti-muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) 
      antibodies. The simultaneous onset of these two autoimmune diseases preceded by a 
      systemic viral illness supports a causal relationship between MuSK antibodies and 
      myasthenia gravis and suggests the possibility of a viral trigger in some cases.
