Abstract
Eculizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody, is a complement inhibitor indicated for refractory generalized myasthenia gravis (MG). However, there are limited data on the safety of eculizumab for MG during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. We report a case in which eculizumab was continued for MG after contracting COVID-19, followed by a favorable outcome.
