[Gleich's syndrome: a case report].
The Gleich's syndrome is a rare disease that causes recurrent angioedema associated with major eosinophilia with good response to corticosteroids. We describe a 53-year-old man who presented with a Gleich's syndrome with a 6-year follow-up and propose a literature review. This case emphazises the favourable prognosis of this disease. In case of poor tolerance of corticosteroids, mepolizumab could be tested.
