We report this rare autoimmune disorder in a 37 year old female where she had presented with complaints of bleeding per vagina since 7 days with clots, non painful, bilateral joint pain since 2 days, swelling of foot & puffiness of face since 1 day, shortness of breath and pallor. Based on her past history and laboratory investigations confirmed the diagnosis of Evan’ Syndrome. Therapy was initiated with corticosteroids and IV immunoglobulin.
