ABSTRACT
Evans syndrome is defined as the simultaneous or sequential occurrence of Coombs- positive hemolytic anemia and idiopathic thrombocytopenia. The clinical course is characterized by periods of remission and exacerbation with variable, and often disappointing responses to therapy. We experienced a case of serum Epstein-Barr virus antibody positive patient presented with Evans syndrome in a 31-year-old woman whose chief complaints were dyspnea and general weakness and whose disease responded to the multimodality therapy including prednisolone, plasmapheresis, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), and alternate-day cyclosporine A and prednisolone. This is the encouraging report of the use of multimodality treatment with prednisolone, plasmapheresis, IVIG, and cyclosporine A and prednisolone in a serum EV virus antibody positive patient presented with Evans syndrome.
