Abstract

In the paper we presented different factors which may cause photodermatoses including photoallergy and phototoxic reactions. The authors indicated plant species which contain furanocoumarins, and which are most often responsible for photodermatoses in European conditions. These plants belong to the following families: Apiaceae, Rutaceae and Moraceae. Most of aforementioned species are cultivated plants. The authors presented types of tissues in which phototoxic substances are produced. The characteristics of three plant species, which most often cause phototoxic reactions in Central Europe was given. The parts of plants and tissues producing and emitting substances inducing photodermatoses were shown in the photos.
