Presentation
We present two cases of Toxicodendron dermatitis, one acquired in the United States but presenting in the United Kingdom (UK), the other a recurrent dermatitis following importation of the plant to the UK. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract Toxicodendron dermatitis results from a reaction to an oil soluble oleoresin that is present in many parts of the poison ivy and poison oak plants. [unboundmedicine.com]
This poster will discuss the presentation, diagnosis and management of Rhus dermatitis with accompanying conjunctivitis and will include anterior segment photographs showing the conjuctival presentation, both initially and post-treatment. [aaopt.org]
Clinical presentation is pleomorphic. Erythema, edema, burning, vesicles, and pruritus of acute onset and rapid resolution are frequently observed. [journals.lww.com]

Treatment

If unable to remove it before dermatitis occurs, the next line of treatment is symptomatic treatment with oral antihistamines, cool compresses, and possibly oatmeal baths. Topical antihistamines should be avoided. [foamem.com]
Treatments include washing the area immediately with a solvent suitable for lipids and the use of anti-inflammatory agents, especially corticosteroids. Authors Show Affiliations Little Rock, Arkansas, USA. [unboundmedicine.com]

Prognosis
However, in the case of a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis), epinephrine injections are recommended The prognosis of Poison Plant Allergy is generally good with appropriate treatment. In many, the condition resolves in a few weeks’ time. [dovemed.com]

Etiology
ETIOLOGY I have shown in preceding papers 2 that the active principle lobinol is neither bacterial nor volatile, and that poisoning occurs from actual contact with the resinous sap of the plant. [jamanetwork.com]

Clinicians can perform patch testing if the etiologic agent of the dermatitis is unclear. Skin biopsy can exclude other cutaneous disorders such as psoriasis and tinea pedis. [podiatrytoday.com]
It can be divided into mechanical and chemical etiologies. These mechanisms often work together in concert to produce painful, burning eruptions. [scholarlypages.org]
