“…To date, about 100 cases of shiitake dermatitis have been reported in Japan. Similar cases of shiitake toxicity with cutaneous and/or respiratory symptoms called ‘mushroom worker’s disease’ have been reported in Europe [3, 4].

Flagellate skin lesions occur in some patients after eating the mushroom Lentinus edodes, and they are called shiitake dermatitis in Japan. We describe a 44-year-old man with such skin lesions on his trunk after eating L. edodes, who developed as well photosensitive skin lesions on exposed areas. Skin phototesting with UVB did not show a decreased minimum erythema dose; UVA irradiation provoked an erythematous lesion with nonspecific histological changes. Analysis of the case histories of 94 Japanese patients with shiitake dermatitis revealed that 44 (47%) also developed dermatitis on the skin exposed to sunlight. UVA photodermatitis has not been emphasized in previous reports. The relationship to bleomycin flagellate dermatitis is discussed.

EinleitungDer Shiitake-Pilz (Lentinus edodes) stammt aus Ostasien und wurde früher nur getrocknet oder in Dosen angeboten. Heute wird er auch in Deutschland gezüchtet und frisch verkauft. Mittlerweile ist er mit dem Champignon und dem Austernpilz der weltweit am meisten produzierte Speisepilz. Normalerweise wird er gebraten oder gekocht gegessen. Immunmodulierende Effekte und Blutdruck senkende Effekte werden ihm nachgesagt [1].
