Phytophotodermatitis in 19 children admitted to hospital and their differential diagnoses child abuse and herpes simplex virus infection
Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology, 2007Co-Authors: Karen Carlsen, K. WeismannAbstract:Background Phytophotodermatitis is a non-immunologic cutaneous reaction that can be provoked after contact with plants containing psoralens followed by sun exposure. Objectives The purpose of this study is to describe the clinical features of Phytophotodermatitis and its differential diagnoses, especially child abuse and herpes virus infection. Methods Nineteen children seen in two county hospitals are described. Results The 19 children had various cutaneous manifestations, which were mistaken in one patient for child abuse and in one child for herpes simplex virus infection. Limitations The doctors' perception is based on the doctors' education. Conclusion Children are susceptible to contact with psoralen-containing plants followed by sun exposure. Phytophotodermatitis is a difficult diagnosis, which can sometimes lead to the inappropriate investigation of child abuse or herpes simplex virus infection.

Phytophotodermatitis caused by contact with a fig tree (Ficus carica).
The New Zealand medical journal, 2007Co-Authors: José G B Derraik, Marius RademakerAbstract:Two arborists presented acutely with blistering eruptions affecting their forearms, hands, and fingers. The previous day, both men had pruned branches from a large fig tree, Ficus carica , which had sustained damaged during a storm. The following morning, both complained of a burning discomfort which rapidly evolved into erythema and bullae on skin that had been in direct contact with the tree branches. These symptoms gradually resolved over 4 to 6 weeks. Although Phytophotodermatitis from Ficus carica has been reported, it is often poorly recognised and there is a need to raise awareness amongst arborists, orchardists, forestry workers, gardeners, and health professionals. Plant dermatitis (phytodermatitis) is caused by a reaction in the skin following contact with certain plants or plant parts. They can be irritant such as cactus spine injuries, urticarial (e.g. from stinging nettles), allergic from plants such as Primula obconica or Toxicodendron succedaneum , or they can be phytophototoxic in nature. 1 Phytophotodermatitis is generally a toxic reaction due to direct skin exposure to certain plants or plant parts, followed by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. The most common plants to cause Phytophotodermatitis belong to the Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) family. 1 Other plant families that can cause Phytophotodermatitis include Rutaceae, Moraceae, and Fabaceae. Case report Two male arborists were cleaning up storm damaged limbs from a large fig tree, Ficus carica, which was heavily laden with fruit (e.g. Figures 1 and 2). The work took place in Auckland between 10:30 am and noon, on a dry, relatively clear summer day (80% relative humidity, temperature 24°C, total UV exposure in 1.5 hours 3.58 mJ). Both workers were dressed in short-sleeved shirts or singlets. During the removal of the storm damage, they wrapped their arms (predominantly their right arms) around the fig tree branches when dragging them to the wood chipper.

Phytophotodermatitis: Case reports of children presenting with blistering after preparing lime juice [Letter to the Editor]
Burns, 2008Co-Authors: Julie Mill, Belinda Wallis, Leila Cuttle, Jonathan Mott, Amanda Oakley, Roy M. KimbleAbstract:Letter to the Editor We read with interest the case report entitled ‘‘Contact with fig tree sap: An unusual cause of burn injury’’ by Mandalia et al. [1] and would like to report our similar experience with Phytophotodermatitis caused by lime juice. Phototoxic dermatitis is understandably easily confused with a burn, particularly when a patient presents with large blisters of unknown mechanism. At the Royal Children’s Hospital Burns Centre, this injury was treated in the same manner as a burn and is described here...
