Abstract
- Evans syndrome after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation rarely occurs and this condition is refractory to treatment, particularly in childhood. We experienced a case of Evans syndrome following unmanipulated unrelated bone marrow transplantation. Evans syndrome developed at early post-transplantation period (day +42) and it responded very well to high-dose corticosteroid. Autoimmune cytopenia should be considered for post-engraftment cytopenias and high-dose corticosteroid therapy might be considered as a treatment of the early onset type of autoimmune cytopenia that can occur after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
