Management of a young patient with combined autoimmunity: Evans Syndrome: a case report

Management of patients with autoimmune disease can present a challenge for clinicians. Combinations of autoimmune disorders carry a worse prognosis and are often difficult to diagnose. Evans syndrome is a rare hematologic disorder characterized by the concurrent presentation of autoimmune hemolytic anemia and immune thrombocytopenic purpura. This paper reports the first case of the dental management of a young patient with Evans, discusses the current literature surrounding the differential diagnosis and treatment of Evans syndrome, and suggests a guide for the oral medicine, pediatric dentist, or hospital dental clinician when treating these patients.
