DIAZ-GARCIA, Juan D.  and  CARRERA-PATINO, Fabián A.. Evans syndrome: A purpose of a case. Rev. med. Hosp. Gen. Méx. [online]. 2020, vol.83, n.2, pp.66-69.  Epub Sep 06, 2021. ISSN 2524-177X.  https://doi.org/10.24875/hgmx.19000073.

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.

Keywords : Evans syndrome; Autoimmune hemolytic anemia; Autoimmune thrombocytopenia; Systemic lupus erythematosus.
