We have experienced a female case of systemic lupus erythematosus with recurrent erythr thrombocytopenia induced by autoimmunity (Evans syndrome) and bone marrow suppression respectively in the course of the disease.
She showed Evans syndrome and incomplete diagnostic criteria of SLE on the first admission at 10years old, Evans syndrome induced by rubella infection on the second admission at 11years old, complete diagnostic criteria of SLE on the third admission at 12years old without Evans syndrome, and erythrothrombocytopenia associated bone marrow suppression on the fourth admission at 17years old.
“Pulse ” methyl prednisolone therapy was effective to improv the bone marrow suppresion.
