Abstract
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 48Â hours after having eaten raw or slightly cooked mushrooms and vanishes into 10Â days. Due to its increasing consumption in Occident, it is essential for European dermatologists to know this dermatosis and how to recognize it.
