Dermatitis parsley

Linear furanocoumarins are polenl photosensitizing agents in celery, parsley, parsnips, limes, and figs. The most commonly reported symptoms include contact dermatitis and photodermatitis. particularly on the hands and forearms. [Pg.674]

Apart from culinary uses, parsley is known for its anticancer, antioxidant, diuretic and laxative properties. Photosensitizing, toxic furocoumarines, including psoralen, ber-gaptene and isoimperatorin, have been found in parsley roots, which can induce dermatitis (Peterson et al., 2006). [Pg.17]

Toxic compounds, such as the photosensitizing furocoumarines including psoralen, bergaptene and isoimperatorin (Manderfeld et al., 1997), which can induce dermatitis, have been found in parsley roots, though in very low concentrations (Lagey et al., 1995). The composition of parsley leaves is given in Table 21.1. [Pg.380]

No particular therapy is effective. It is not known whether the minute quantities of phytomenadione that are present in some foods, such as parsley, kale, brussels sprouts, spinach, cucumber, soy bean oil, and green and black tea leaves, preclude effective dietary therapy. Since the mechanism of this reaction is thought to be delayed hypersensitivity, another potential therapeutic approach is topical application of tacrolimus (FK-506), a potent inhibitor of interleukin 2 and T cell activation. Tacrohmus up to now has only been shown to suppress allergic contact dermatitis to dinitrophenol. [Pg.3682]

Parsley. Parsley (Petroselinum sativum) has been known to cause dermatitis on the hands and arms. This condition was accompanied by blisters which developed on the back of the hands of schoolgirls that picked parsley. Peasants in a village near Sofia, Bulgaria, are familiar with this problem, and some cover their hands with fat before picking (61). [Pg.307]

Parsley leaf contains furanocoumarins, compounds recognized to cause photodermatitis after topical exposure followed by exposure to sun or other sources of ultraviolet radiation (Beier and Ivie 1985 Zaynoun et al. 1985). Cases of dermatitis (phytophotodermatitis) have been reported in... [Pg.638]

Contact dermatitis can occur from endive, Cichor-ium endivum [214, 215], chicory, parsley [216], Cichorium intybus [214, 215, 217], chervil, Anthriscus cerefoliurriy and lettuce, Lactuca sativa [214, 215, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222]. [Pg.747]

Reactions may be seen to Cynara scolymus in market gardeners [224], food handlers, vegetable sellers [225], and workers cleaning artichokes [223], and to parsley and parsnip in kitchen workers [201, 204, 205]. In Japan, persons who wrap leaves of the beefsteak plant, Perilla frutescens (shiso) are prone to develop allergic contact dermatitis, apparently from L-perillaldehyde [226]. Mustard caused contact dermatitis in a salad maker [227]. Patch testing can be done with synthetic oil of mustard [228] (0.1% allylisothiocyanate). [Pg.747]

Allergic contact dermatitis from common vegetables of the Apiaceae, such as carrots, celery and parsley is known (Murdoch and Demster 2000 Machado et cd. 2002) but rare, probably due to their relatively low concentrations of allergenic acetylenes compared with ornamental and wild plant species (Hausen 1988), or possibly a desensitizing effect of oral intake. [Pg.151]
