Evans Syndrome- Rare Cause of Abdominal Pain: A Case Report
Evan’s syndrome is a rare and chronic autoimmune disease characterized by autoimmune hemolytic anemia and immune thrombocytopenic purpura with a positive Coomb’s test in the absence of an underlying etiology. There is no preferential distribution of Evans syndrome by age, gender, or ethnic group. The best treatment options for Evans syndrome depend on many factors, including the severity of the condition; presence of signs and symptoms and person’s response to therapies. We present a case of a 12 year old adolescent girl with abdominal pain, diagnosed as a case of Evans syndrome based on the clinical features, Coombs test, hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia.
