    Elderly individuals developed airborne contact dermatitis from outdoor exposure to feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium). Patch tests confirmed allergy to the plant and its compound, parthenolide, with cross-reactions to related species.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Allergology
    • Botany

    Background:

    • Acute recurrent dermatitis affects light-exposed skin seasonally in some elderly individuals.
    • Identifying the causative agent is crucial for managing this condition.

    Observation:

    • Two elderly patients presented with dermatitis exacerbated by sun exposure from spring to autumn.
    • The primary suspected source was airborne plant particles encountered during outdoor activities.

    Findings:

    • Patch testing revealed significant allergies to feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) and its component, parthenolide.
    • Cross-reactivity was observed with other related species within the Compositae family.
    • The pattern of dermatitis, including involvement of typically protected areas like upper eyelids, suggested airborne contact.

    Implications:

    • This study highlights airborne contact dermatitis as a differential diagnosis for photodermatitis.
    • Awareness of Compositae allergies is important for patients with seasonal dermatitis.
    • Environmental and botanical factors play a significant role in allergic skin reactions.
