Overview
Prognosis
Given the fact that the signs and symptoms of this disease are related directly to the abnormal laboratory findings, the prognosis depends on the patient’s response to treatment. Spontaneous remissions of each of the individual component conditions have been reported. If the child responds well to the treatment and the levels of platelets and red blood cells increase, the child can expect to live a normal life. Medications will be needed life long, and laboratory tests will need to be constantly monitored to detect any abnormal changes so that treatment can be adjusted.
In more serious cases it can massively reduce life span and is seriously life threatening.
Evan's Syndrome is rare, serious, and has a reported mortality rate of just under 18%.
