Overview

The authors present the current knowledge of the pathogenesis of phytophotodermatitis and list of plants causing this reaction.

It usually has a bizarre and divergent clinical picture. In most cases it is a non-immunologic toxic reaction with a typically long lasting deep pigmentation.

Key words:
phytophotodermatitis – furocoumarins – plant extracts – UVA radiation
