Evans Syndrome Following Unrelated Bone Marrow Transplantation / 대한소아혈액종양학회지

ABSTRACT

Thrombocytopenia and Coombs' positive hemolytic anemia (Evans syndrome) after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) rarely occurs, especially in childhood. We experienced a case of Evans syndrome following unmanipulated unrelated bone marrow transplantation, which promptly responded to steroid pulse therapy. Immune-mediated cytopenia should be considered for evaluation of post-engraftment cytopenia following HSCT.
