Evans Syndrome Associated With Antiphospholipid Antibodies

Evans Syndrome at Childhood‐Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Diagnosis: A Large Multicenter Study

“…Additionally, the absence of neutropenia in ES cSLE patients suggests that autoimmune neutropenia is not a relevant mechanism in this disease. The autoantibody profile did not distinguish patients with cSLE and ES and the higher frequency of antiphospholipid antibodies did not reach statistical significance in spite of a case report of antiphospholipid syndrome associated with ES . Corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulin were the first‐line therapy for patients with ES and immunosuppressive agents were indicated for severe and refractory cases in the present study.…”

Evans syndrome and primary biliary cirrhosis

“…More recently, it has been suggested that there is an overlap between Evans syndrome and autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome, a rare disorder of disturbed lymphocyte homeostasis (Teachey et al, 2005). There are also case reports of Evans syndrome associated with antiphospholipid antibodies (Avcin et al, 2003). This is of particular significance, as thrombocytopaenia and haemolytic anaemia are recognized complications of the antiphospholipid syndrome (Font et al, 2000).…”
