Overview
The author describes a case of a 39-year-old man, who developed symptoms of flagellate dermatitis accompanied by flu-like symptoms and symptoms of gastroenteritis after consuming a raw shiitake mushroom. Neither infectious serology nor biochemistry showed significant pathological values. The treatment with systemic corticosteroids for four days, antihistamines and local therapy led to remission of all symptoms. The article provides current knowledge of flagellate dermatitis and its pathogenesis, including the role and possible uses of β-glucans extracted from fungi.
