Lentinula edodes
Key points
- Shiitake dermatitis usually occurs 1-2 days after consumption of incompletely cooked or raw shiitake mushrooms and is characterized by linear, pruritic, erythematous papulovesicular rashes
- It is caused by lentinan, a polysaccharide component of the cell walls of shiitake mushrooms
- The histological examination showed an eczema-like morphology with spongiosis and lymphohistiocytic infiltrates
- The results of reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) correlated with the histopathological investigations
- Therefore, RCM can be used for non-invasive diagnostic confirmation of Shiitake dermatitis in the future

Shiitake dermatitis usually occurs 1-2 days after consumption of incompletely cooked or raw shiitake mushrooms and is characterized by linear, pruritic, erythematous papulovesicular rashes. It is caused by lentinan, a polysaccharide component of the cell walls of shiitake mushrooms. The histological examination showed an eczema-like morphology with spongiosis and lymphohistiocytic infiltrates. The results of reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) correlated with the histopathological investigations. Therefore, RCM can be used for non-invasive diagnostic confirmation of Shiitake dermatitis in the future.
