Mikulicz's disease (MD) is characterized by symmetrical and persistent enlargement of the lacrimal and salivary glands. Recently it has been categorized as an 'Ig (immunoglobulin) G4-related disease.' It presents with elevated serum levels of IgG4 and abundant infiltration of IgG4-bearing plasmacytes in involved organs. Allergic symptoms are often observed in patients with IgG4-related disease. On the other hand, allergic diseases are often complicated with Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS). Here we focused on CSS and analyzed the relation of IgG4 in its pathogenesis.
