"On trail of a rare disease
In September 2005, a letter landed on the desk of Dr. Jerry Gibson, the state's top disease detective.
It came from a person who once worked on the sixth floor of the Medical University of South Carolina's Children's Hospital. In the letter, the person said that three colleagues who worked within steps of each other developed a rare disease called myasthenia gravis.
Myasthenia gravis means "grave muscle disease" in Latin."
