Abstract
Evans syndrome (ES) is a rare and chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the concomitant or sequential association of auto-immune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), and less frequently autoimmune neutropenia. Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) may cause various hematologic conditions. COVID-19 may also induce Evans syndrome via immune mechanisms. Here, we describe the case of a patient developing Evans syndrome as initial presentation of Covid-19 infection.
