Evans Syndrome as Rare Presentation in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Evans syndrome is a rare disorder in which the body’s immune system produces antibodies that mistakenly destroy red blood cells, platelets and sometimes certain white blood cell known as neutrophils. It is one of the rare presenting features of autoimmune disorders, especially systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and sometimes may even precede the onset of disease. Primary Evans syndrome with no cause is very rare and is seen in children. Here, we describe a case of secondary Evans syndrome with severe autoimmune hemolytic anemia leading to acute kidney injury. This is one of the rare presentations of SLE and there are only few case reports.
