Pregnancy complicated by Evan's syndrome.
Evan's syndrome was initially diagnosed in a 26-year-old pregnant patient. Following the introduction of high dose steroid therapy, the patient developed possible disseminated gonococcal infection which was followed by preterm labor and abruptio placentae. A cesarean delivery was performed at the 34th week of pregnancy following platelet infusion. While the infant survived, the mother had delayed postpartum hemorrhage.
