Abstract
Shiitake dermatitis is a striking skin reaction that may appear after consumption of raw or undercooked Shiitake mushrooms (Lentinus edodes) in susceptible individuals. The disease is also termed flagellate mushroom dermatitis because the skin lesions resemble wounds caused by whip (flagellum in Latin) (1, 2). It was first described in Japan by Nakamura (3) in 1977 and to date only few cases were reported in Europe (2, 4, 5).
