Abstract

We report a case of a 35-year-old female patient, white skin color, with a history of migraine headache. She began with purple manifestations in the form of petechiae and ecchymoses spread throughout the body; mucous skin pallor and icterus in skin and sclera, as well as coluria. Hematological, humoral and immunological studies were carried out. She was treated in the Internal Medicine ward at Comandante Pinares General Teaching Hospital. She evolved satisfactorily to treatment with steroids and intravenous immunoglobulin. The diagnostic discussion of this case was carried out, confirming the Evans-Fisher Syndrome, the updated bibliography on the disease was reviewed.
