Growing evidence suggests that COVID-19 vaccines can induce hematological conditions. Here, we report a case of Evans’ syndrome, a combination of immune thrombocytopenic purpura and autoimmune hemolytic anemia following administration of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine. The present case further supports the notion that COVID-19 vaccines can trigger in rare cases severe persistent autoimmune-mediated hematological conditions which may predominantly occur in patients with underlying autoimmune conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
