N Hjorth, J Roed-Petersen, K Thomsen

    The British Journal of Dermatology
    |December 1, 1976

    Summary

    American ragweed dermatitis, caused by Compositae family pollens, is often misdiagnosed. This study identifies Compositae oleoresin dermatitis in Danish patients previously diagnosed with photodermatitis.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Allergology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Airborne American ragweed (Ambrosia) dermatitis is linked to pollen oleoresins.
    • Similar weed dermatitis cases are reported in India and Australia, involving Compositae family weeds.
    • These weeds contain sesquiterpene lactones with a common antigenic determinant.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify Compositae oleoresin dermatitis in Danish patients misdiagnosed with photodermatitis.
    • To highlight the potential global prevalence and misdiagnosis of Compositae dermatitis.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical observation and diagnosis of seven Danish patients.
    • Review of previous diagnoses and treatment histories.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Seven patients with long-term photodermatitis diagnosis were found to have Compositae oleoresin dermatitis.
    • This suggests Compositae dermatitis may be a worldwide condition.

    Conclusions:

    • Compositae oleoresin dermatitis is likely a global disease.
    • Misdiagnosis, as seen in Scandinavia, is common for this condition.
