Let \(\mu\) be the class of functions \(f(z)=\frac{1}{z}+\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_nz^n\) that are analytic and univalent in the punctured unit disk \(\dot{\Delta}=\{z:0<|z|<1\}.\) For \(f\in\mu\) the operator \(T\) is defined by \(Tf(z)=\frac 12\{f(z)-f(-z)\}\) and the operator \(D\) by \(D^0f(z)=f(z),\) \(D^1f(z)=zf'(z)\) and \(D^{n+1}f(z)=D(D^nf(z)),\) \(n=1,2,\dots.\) A function \(f\in \mu,\) with \(\frac{f(z)}{zf'(z)}\neq 0,\) \(z\in \dot\Delta,\) belongs to the class \(MS_s^\ast\) of meromorphically starlike functions with respect to symmetric points if \[ \text{Re}\left\{-\frac{2zf'(z)}{f(z)-f(-z)}\right\}=\text{Re}\left\{-\frac{Df(z)}{Tf(z)}\right\}>0,\quad z\in\dot\Delta, \] or to the class \(MS_s^\ast(\alpha),\) \(\alpha\geq 0,\) of meromorphically \(\alpha-\)starlike functions with respect to symmetric points if \[ \text{Re}\left\{-\frac{D(\alpha D+(1+\alpha)D^0)f(z)}{(\alpha D+(1+\alpha)D^0)Tf(z)}\right\}>0,\quad z\in\dot\Delta. \] In this paper the authors give necessary, and after that sufficient conditions over the coefficients of a function \(f\in\mu\) that imply \(f\in MS_s^\ast.\) In addition they give a structural formula of the class \(MS_s^\ast(\alpha).\)
