| Abstract (English): |
Shiitake dermatitis is a cutaneous reaction caused by the ingestion of raw or undercooked Shiitake mushrooms. The physiopathology is not fully understood but is suggested to be due to lentinan, a thermolabile polysaccharide component of the cell walls of Shiitake mushroom. The skin eruption is characterized by erythematous linear papules, in a flagellate-like pattern, associated with intense pruritus and it usually involve the trunk and limbs. The skin lesion is self-limited, but the symptoms could be treated with antihistamine drugs and topical corticosteroids. A 28-year-old Caucasian male, with no pathological history, that developed typical symptoms 72 hours after consumption of Shiitake mushrooms is presented. There is an increased ingestion of Shiitake in occidental countries and health professionals and dermatologists should, therefore, be aware of the characteristic skin lesions associated with its consumption.

| Abstract (Spanish): |
La dermatitis shiitake es una reacción cutánea causada por la ingestión de setas shiitake crudas o poco cocinadas. Su fisiopatología no se comprende completamente, pero se sugiere que se debe al Lentinan, un polisacárido termolábil que se encuentra en la pared celular del hongo. La erupción dermatológica se manifiesta con pápulas eritematosas lineales, en un patrón flagelado, asociadas a prurito intenso y generalmente involucra el tronco y las extremidades. Es una afección autolimitada, aunque los síntomas se pueden tratar con medicamentos antihistamínicos y corticoides tópicos. Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino caucásico de 28 años, sin antecedentes patológicos, quien consultó por aparición de lesiones cutáneas 72 horas después de la ingesta de setas shiitake. Hay un aumento en la ingestión de este hongo en los países occidentales, por lo que los profesionales de la salud y dermatólogos deben conocer las lesiones cutáneas características asociadas a su consumo.
