Evans syndrome in a young man with rare autoimmune associations and transplanted liver
Evans syndrome is classically characterised by two or more cytopenias occurring either concomitantly or sequentially. Most commonly, these are autoimmune haemolytic anaemia and immune thrombocytopenia purpura. It is mostly associated with specific autoimmune conditions such as systemic lupus erythem...

description | Evans syndrome is classically characterised by two or more cytopenias occurring either concomitantly or sequentially. Most commonly, these are autoimmune haemolytic anaemia and immune thrombocytopenia purpura. It is mostly associated with specific autoimmune conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus and lymphoproliferative disorders. We present a case report of Evans syndrome in a young man with primary sclerosing cholangitis and Crohn’s disease, neither of which are classically associated with the condition. The case also further adds to the number of case reports of Evans syndrome occurring in patients following liver transplantation. |
