Abstract: Paciente mujer de 55 años de edad, natural de Ayacucho, con antecedente de dermatomiositis desde hace 3 años, recibió tratamiento irregular con prednisona. Dos meses antes del ingreso presenta anemia hemolítica autoinmune y púrpura trombocitopénica idiopática, recibió pulsos de metilprednisolona y transfusión de paquetes globulares.

“…This case highlights the importance of close follow-up and high clinical suspicion for new autoimmune conditions that may develop many years after the initial diagnosis of Evans syndrome with either new symptoms or flares of familiar symptoms. Despite Evans syndrome's association with autoimmune conditions, its association with dermatomyositis is exceedingly rare with only 6 cases described in the literature to this point [3][4][5][6][7][8]. Of these, all were associated with generalized subcutaneous edema from dermatomyositis.…”

“…Despite Evans syndrome's association with autoimmune conditions, its association with dermatomyositis remains exceedingly rare with only 6 cases in the literature. [3][4][5][6][7][8] Dermatomyositis is an inflammatory disease that primarily affects the proximal muscle groups in a symmetric fashion with a number of extramuscular manifestations [9]. Based on the 6 cases described, each time dermatomyositis is associated with Evans syndrome, it is also accompanied by generalized subcutaneous edema [3][4][5][6][7][8].…”

“…La infección por el virus HTLV-1 al generar una respuesta inmune puede producir anticuerpos que reaccionan contra la membrana del eritrocito, pudiendo generar una anemia hemolítica autoinmune 4 . Esta reacción autoinmune por la infección por HTLV-1 pudo ser la causante de la anemia hemolítica que presentó el paciente, como también el síndrome de Guillain Barré.…”

“…Se ha asociado con la Paraparesia Espástica Tropical, así como la Leucemia T del adulto. Asimismo, informes previos han demostrado relación entre HTLV-1 con síndromes neurológicos como la esclerosis lateral amiotrófica y síndrome de Guillain-Barré, además de alteraciones hematológicas como Anemia Hemolítica 1,3,4 .…”
