Abstract
Evans syndrome is an underdiagnosed condition consisting of simultaneous or sequential combination of autoimmune hemolytic anemia and immune-mediated thrombocytopenia. We report a case of severe Evans syndrome presenting as altered mental status, a rare presenting sign of the disease. This case highlights the difficulty in diagnosing Evans syndrome and provides a review of the literature and management strategies for treating the disorder.
