Summary

Plant dermatitis is common in eastern Turkey, with phyto-phototoxic reactions from Chenopodium album and irritant contact dermatitis from Ranunculus kotschyi being most frequent. This study identifies various plant-induced skin reactions in the region.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Botany
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Plant-induced dermatitis presents diverse clinical manifestations and geographic variations.
  • Furocoumarin-containing plants can cause phyto-phototoxic reactions, mimicking angioedema and potentially leading to necrosis.
  • Understanding regional plant dermatitis is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and document cases of plant dermatitis, including allergic contact dermatitis, irritant contact dermatitis, and phyto-phototoxic dermatitis in eastern Turkey.
  • To contribute novel data to the existing scientific literature on plant-induced skin reactions.
  • To raise awareness of specific plant species causing dermatitis in the region.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 30 patients diagnosed with plant dermatitis.
  • Collection of demographic data, including age and gender.
  • Recording of clinical characteristics, dermatitis type, and the identified causative plant species.

Main Results:

  • Phyto-phototoxic reactions were observed in 12 patients, primarily attributed to Chenopodium album.
  • Irritant contact dermatitis was diagnosed in 11 patients, linked to Ranunculus kotschyi.
  • Other identified plant culprits included Malva neglecta, Mandragora autumnalis, Eryngium billardieri, Ceratocephalus falcatus, Ranunculus damascenus, and Plantago lanceolata.

Conclusions:

  • Chenopodium album and Ranunculus kotschyi are significant causes of plant dermatitis in eastern Turkey.
  • The study highlights the importance of considering specific regional flora in diagnosing plant-induced dermatological conditions.
  • Further research into plant dermatitis in diverse geographic areas is warranted.
