Evans syndrome: A purpose of a case
Abstract Evans syndrome is a very rare disorder in medical practice that can be both idiopathic and secondary to another underlying pathology. It is a clinical manifestation of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) that can be simultaneous or subsequent to autoimmune thrombocytopenia (AITP). Sometimes, it can be accompanied by autoimmune neutropenia. It is estimated that 0.8-4% of patients with ITP or AIHA suffer from this syndrome. The case of a 32-year-old female patient with a history of systemic lupus erythematosus is described, who was admitted at the emergency unit of our hospital, presenting symptoms of asthenia, adynamia, and hyporexia.
