A unique occurrence of sarcoidosis autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA), Sjögren's syndrome and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) in the same patient is reported. Although the occurrence of autoimmune disease with sarcoidosis is well known, a case in which several of these diseases coexist with sarcoidosis is rare. We present a man with longstanding sarcoidosis who developed AIHA. Sjögren's syndrome and ITP. This case report seems to be the first case in which three autoimmune diseases were accompanied by sarcoidosis in 1 patient.
