Figure 2 Clinical course and treatment response in patient 2 with programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitor–induced MMM syndrome. (A) Temporal changes in myocarditis grade, myasthenia gravis grade, serum troponin I, creatine kinase, and daily prednisone-equivalent dose from symptom onset to 90 days, together with the timing of immunotherapies (IVIG, plasmapheresis, efgartigimod) and respiratory support. (B) Evolution of myasthenia gravis activities of daily living (MG-ADL) scores and quantitative myasthenia gravis (QMG) scores during the first cycle of efgartigimod; decreasing scores indicate clinical improvement.
