La shiitake dermatitis (dermatose toxique au lentin) est arrivée en France

Clinical features of shiitake dermatitis are small, highly pruriginous, erythematous papules, generalized. They have a whole body spreading and in some area a linear disposition. It is a toxic reaction due to a toxin called lentinan. It occurs in the 48 hours after having eaten raw or slightly cooked mushrooms and vanishes into 10 days. Due to its increasing consumption in Occident, it is essential for European dermatologists to know this dermatosis and how to recognize it.
