Abstract

Evan’s syndrome is a rare and chronic autoimmune disease characterised by autoimmune hemolytic anemia and immune thrombocytopenic purpura with a positive Coomb’s test in the absence of an underlying etiology. Majority of the patients with this syndrome have a chronic relapsing course and significant morbidity and mortality despite treatment. We present a case of a 22 year old female, in which, based on the clinical features, Coombs test, hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia, a diagnosis of Evans syndrome was made.
