- Abstract
- In 1951, Evans and associates first described a group of patients with primary thrombocytopenic
purpura for a diagnosis of Evans syndrome, The criteria for a diagnosis of Evans syndrome were(l)
hemolytic anemia with a positive direct coombs’ test and thrombocytopenia occuring either simultaneously or in succession and(2) the absence of any known underlying etiology. We experienced a
case of Evans syndrome associated with A-V malformation in proximal jejunum in a 13-year old
female patient. A brief review of literatures was given.
