| Core Tip |
We report a 3-year-old female with a past medical history of Evans syndrome (ES) who presented with jaundice and significant transaminitis due to autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) type 1. To our knowledge, this is a rare association of concurrent AIH and ES in a child who responded well to rituximab. The patient also demonstrated short-term response to intravenous immunoglobulin, methylprednisolone, azathioprine and oral prednisone. We conclude that ES may evolve over a period of several months therefore evaluation for associated autoimmune conditions should be considered in these patients. |
