“…Allergic contact dermatitis has been reported in patients using hygiene products, such as shampoo containing poplar propolis [ 107 ]. It is believed that the number of cases of allergic contact dermatitis to propolis has increased in the past two decades, probably due to the use of hygiene, cosmetic and pharmaceutical preparations containing the product [ 108 ]. Several substances contained in propolis and in poplar buds have been recognized as allergens, chiefly caffeate esters, including CAPE ( Figure 2 , I ) [ 109 ], while flavonoid aglycones are weak sensitizers [ 110 ].…”

“…All or nearly all cited literature related to the topic refers to poplar propolis type, very little having been reported about contact allergy induced by other types of propolis. Apart from a case report [ 108 ], no events linking Brazilian propolis allergic contact dermatitis have been mentioned. To our knowledge, no allergic contact dermatitis has been noticed in Japan, a country consuming preferably Brazilian green propolis.…”

Propolis has gained wide popularity over the last decades in several parts of the world. In parallel, the literature about propolis composition and biological properties increased markedly. A great number of papers have demonstrated that propolis from different parts of the world is composed mainly of phenolic substances, frequently flavonoids, derived from plant resins. Propolis has a relevant role in increasing the social immunity of bee hives. Experimental evidence indicates that propolis and its components have activity against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Mechanisms of action on bacteria, fungi, and viruses are known for several propolis components. Experiments have shown that propolis may act synergistically with antibiotics, antifungals, and antivirus drugs, permitting the administration of lower doses of drugs and higher antimicrobial effects. The current trend of growing resistance of microbial pathogens to the available drugs has encouraged the introduction of propolis in therapy against infectious diseases. Because propolis composition is widely variable, standardized propolis extracts have been produced. Successful clinical trials have included propolis extracts as medicine in dentistry and as an adjuvant in the treatment of patients against COVID-19. Present world health conditions encourage initiatives toward the spread of the niche of propolis, not only as traditional and alternative medicine but also as a relevant protagonist in anti-infectious therapy. Production of propolis and other apiary products is environmentally friendly and may contribute to alleviating the current crisis of the decline of bee populations. Propolis production has had social-economic relevance in Brazil, providing benefits to underprivileged people.

Objetivos: própolis é a substância resinosa que as abelhas coletam de plantas para a construção de suas colmeias. O objetivo dessa revisão foi ressaltar a importância do diagnóstico de dermatite de contato relacionada com própolis e aspectos clínicos relevantes dessa doença. Métodos: revisão narrativa da literatura realizada através da pesquisa nas bases de dados National Library of Medicine (PubMed) e Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO). Resultados: foram encontrados 246 artigos e, após o processo de seleção e leitura, foram incluídas 32 publicações. Conclusões: a hipersensibilidade tardia ao própolis é de extrema importância pois a prevalência dessa alergia é crescente em diversas partes do mundo. Precisamos de estudos nacionais para avaliar nossa realidade. A comprovação de alta prevalência em nosso meio permitirá a inclusão desta substância em outras baterias de testes de contato em nosso país.
