“…Each individual patient has his/her own reaction pattern on patch testing, independent of the exposure. Testing with both pure allergens and plant extracts may result in severe local reactions, which may persist for months (42); further, there is a risk of exacerbation of the eczema and, at worst, active sensitization. Interpretation is also difficult due to the irritant properties of certain extracts.…”

“…Interpretation is also difficult due to the irritant properties of certain extracts. Many are somewhat reticent for these reasons with regard to including Compositae allergens in the standard patch test series (13,20,42). However, a recently developed SL-mix containing alantolactone, dehydrocostus lactone and costunolide (0.1% pet.)…”

“…Compositae dermatitis occurs most frequently in middle-aged and elderly persons, but can be seen in all age groups (9,14,24,25,30,32,33,42). Sensitization is, however, extremely rare among the young and children, even following massive exposure.…”

Compositae dermatitis in an allergic contact dermatitis, frequently chronic, triggered by plants of the Compositae family. The condition, which is seen, in particular, in middle-aged and elderly persons, typically starts in the summer months with an acute eczema either corresponding to areas exposed to light and air, or corresponding to areas of plant contact; it disappears spontaneously during the fall of the year. Repeated exposure over a number of years may cause severe intractable dermatitis affecting the patient throughout the year. The responsible allergens are sesquiterpene lactones, and investigations to date indicate that the frequency of the allergy is similar to that seen with some of the contact allergens of the standard patch test series. The diagnosis, however, is difficult, partly due to the fact that the clinical picture may be mistaken for a photodermatosis, and partly owing to the difficulty in obtaining commercially available allergens for patch testing. The diagnosis is therefore based on testing with plant extracts, which can cause pronounced local reactions and possibly active sensitization. A survey is given of the possible modes of sensitization, sex and age distribution, the relationship to photosensitivity and atopy, as well as the possible treatment. It is conclude~, on the basis of the chronic nature of the disease, and the diagnostic and treatment problems, that continued intensive research into the condition is urgently needed.
