Immune thrombocytopenia, red cell aplasia, lupus, and hyperthyroidism.

A patient is presented with multiple manifestations of an autoimmune diathesis: immune thrombocytopenia, red cell aplasia, hyperthyroidism, a lupus-like syndrome, and an anti-i autoantibody, with inability to be transfused. Some of these entities are known to be commonly associated, but some are not, and it is unusual to find five of these phenomena in a single patient.
