Myasthenia gravis is a serious disease leading to disability of patients and frequent deaths, which determines the high relevance in the search for pathogenetical methods to increase the efficiency of treatment of this pathology. The activation of free radical oxidation, as a typical pathological process, is an important link in the pathogenesis of several autoimmune diseases, including myasthenia gravis. In the study of oxidative homeostasis in 20 patients with myasthenia gravis, there were changes of oxidative homeostasis in patients with myasthenia as compared with healthy volunteers. The dynamics was analyzed of oxidation processes and antioxidant activity indicators in the therapeutic complex of ozone therapy. There was a positive influence of ozone therapy on the processes of free radical oxidation, which makes ozone therapy pathogenetically substantiated method of treatment of myasthenia gravis.

Key words: myasthenia gravis disease, ozone therapy, lipid peroxidation.
