Celiac disease with Evans syndrome and isolated immune thrombocytopenia in monozygotic twins: A rare association

The clinical presentation is characterized by a multitude and diversity of symptoms and complications. The coexistence of celiac disease with other autoimmune disorders has been established, most frequently with type 1 diabetes mellitus and autoimmune thyroiditis.
