A CASE OF PARTHENIUM DERMATITS IN A MIDDLE AGED FEMALE
Journal Title: Era's Journal of Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Parthenium dermatitis is an immuno-inflammatory disease caused by Partheniumhysterophorus and is the most common cause of plant dermatitis in India. Contact sensitivity to parthenium is everlasting, and hence the disease runs a chronic course with exacerbation during summers. Patch testing with acetone or aqueous plant extract is the simplest way of confirming parthenium contact allergy. We report a case of 40yr old female who presented with generalised erythematous and lichenified plaques and was managed effectively with topical corticosteroid and avoidance of allergens.
