The treatment of pneumonia in patients with myasthenia gravis is the same as that for typical pneumonia, using corresponding antibiotics for bacterial, viral, or other microbial infections. However, if a patient with myasthenia gravis has a concomitant lung infection, aminoglycoside antibiotics, which can exacerbate conditions affecting neuromuscular junctions, i.e., worsen myasthenia gravis, should not be used. Sedative drugs are also contraindicated, as well as any drugs that might intensify muscle weakness.
