Autoimmune hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia attributed to an intrauterine contraceptive device.

Background: Evans syndrome is a rare condition manifested by combined autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and thrombocytopenia or neutropenia. It is often associated with other autoimmune disorders, immunodeficiencies, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Case Report: We describe a patient with Evans syndrome that may have been related to exposure to a polyethylene-based intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD).
