Evans syndrome is an autoimmune disease in which an individual’s antibodies attack their own red blood cells and platelets. Both of these events may occur simultaneously or one may follow on from the other.Its overall pathology resembles a combination of autoimmune hemolytic anemia and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is a condition in which the red blood cells that normally carry oxygen and carbon dioxide are destroyed by an autoimmune process.
