Abstract :

Evans syndrome is a rare hematological disorder in which autoimmune hemolytic anemia and immune thrombocytopenia occur in the same patient. Patients usually have relapses and remissions. We report a female aged 32 years who presented with menorrhagia and purpuric rashes over her extremities. Investigations revealed thrombocytopenia and Coombs positive Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA) which was suggestive of Evans syndrome.
