Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
The simultaneous or sequential development of autoimmune hemolytic anemia and immune thrombocytopenia and/or immune neutropenia in the absence of any underlying cause was described as Evans syndrome(ES).Since its first description , ES was considered idiopathic , and mainly as a diagnosis of exclusion.Few case reports showed a common association of ES with other diseases, such as , SLE, lymphoproliferative disorders,which warranted the classification of ES into primary and secondary.However , the association of Evans syndrome with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis was found to be an extremely rare and only 5 such cases were published till date to the best of our knowledge.
