Shiitake dermatitis: experience of the Poison Control Centre Network in France from 2014 to 2019
Abstract
Shiitake mushrooms (Lentinus edodes) are an edible fungus, initially grown in Japan and China that are increasingly marketed in Europe. We previously presented 15 shiitake dermatitis cases reported to Poison Control Centres (PCCs) in France from January 2000 to December 2013. The aim of this study was to describe changes in the number of shiitake dermatitis cases since 2014, and to better describe the clinical characteristics and risk factors of this reaction.
