Evans syndrome (ES) is a rare autoimmune condition of unknown etiology that occurs in a small subset of patients diagnosed, either sequentially or concomitantly, with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) or warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). Neutropenia is present occasionally. Diagnosis is based on exclusion with a median age of 52 years of age. Here we have a case of a young patient with ES presenting with recurrent infection. ES should be included in differential diagnoses for patients presenting with AIHA, ITP, cytopenias or recurrent infection as the prognosis is more favorable when diagnosis is made early and symptoms are still mild.
