Shiitake dermatitis

Abstract: Shiitake Dermatitis is a skin eruption that resembles whiplash marks and occurs after consumption of raw shiitake mushrooms. It is caused by a toxic reaction to lentinan, a thermolabil polysaccharide which decomposes upon heating. We report the second case of this dermatitis in Brazil. A 25-year-old man presented with linearly arranged erythematous, pruritic papules on the trunk and limbs, after ingestion of a salad containing raw shiitake mushrooms. The eruption was self-limited, resolving within 10 days of o… Show more

“…Shiitake dermatitis occurs in a unique clinical setting in which presumably genetically susceptible individuals are exposed to large amounts of uncooked or undercooked mushrooms: a total of 36 of the eruptions included in our review material occurred in this setting . This introduces the concept that inadequate cooking is a possible determinant of the occurrence of shiitake dermatitis.…”

“…5,6 Histologically, however, our case exhibited necrotic keratinocytes in the epidermis and infiltration of lymphocytes and eosinophils in the dermis, suggesting a drug eruption rather than shiitake dermatitis, which is histologically characterized by a spongiotic epidermis, papillary dermal edema and lymphocytic infiltration. 6 Such a necrotic change of keratinocytes had been found in acute cutaneous reactions including drug eruptions. Bleomycin is a representative drug inducing flagellate erythema and the presence of necrotic keratinocytes in the epidermis as in our case.…”

“…Although side effects of lentinan are rare, anaphylaxis after intravenous administration has been reported in some clinical cases [ 114 ]. Anaphylaxis could be caused by a toxic reaction to lentinan as there are also case reports of contact dermatitis, asthma, rhinitis, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis in shiitake workers [ 115 ]. These cases indicate the need to conduct additional (preclinical) studies, as regulators take the safety of novel food and new agents as their primary consideration [ 112 ].…”
