“…Beekeepers usually show sensitivity to propolis (Rudeschko et al, 2004;Gulbahar et al, 2005). Ethanol and water extracts of propolis possess antiallergic action, inhibiting histamine release in rat peritoneal mast cells (Miyataka et al, 1998).…”

“…Also, drug-related psorasiform lesions may develop from contact or systemic absorption, but they are not so common to happen [13]. Gulbahar et al [14] described a case of psoriasiform dermatitis caused by topical propolis in a beekeeper. Vena et al [15] described eczematous drug reactions due to systemic antihypertensive drugs.…”

The use of formaldehyde and formaldehyde releasers in hair-straightening formulations started in Rio de Janeiro in 2003. The technique is known as BKT, Brazilian keratin treatment. The aim of this study was to analyze the types of skin reactions presented by patients due to BKT. We describe 7 patients with severe erythema and scurf on the scalp which developed shortly after BKT. The lesions were eczema-like psoriasiform, located mainly on the scalp. Some patients also developed eczema-like lesions and pustules on the face, neck, upper arms, and upper trunk. Dermatoscopic findings included erythema, perifollicular and interfollicular scurf. The peripilar desquamation resembled the outer skin of an onion bulb. Scalp biopsies revealed psoriasiform and spongiotic psoriasiform patterns, one of them similar to anti-TNFα biologic drug psoriasiform alopecia. The possible consequences of the absorption of formaldehyde by hairdressers or clients are still to be verified by the scientific community; however, the skin and scalp reactions observed in our cases suggest a drug reaction phenomenon and not only eczemas of irritant or allergic origin.

Allergies au miel et aux produits de la ruche

Les produits de la ruche comportent un grand nombre d'allergènes provenant du corps des abeilles et des produits qu'elles récoltent (pollens, nectar, propolis) et fabriquent (miel, gelée royale). Si les IgE du sérum des allergiques aux abeilles sont capables de fixer un grand nombre de protéines du miel, la prévalence de l'allergie au miel est faible chez les allergiques aux hyménoptères ou chez les apiculteurs. En revanche, l'allergie aux pollens en particulier de Composées (armoise, camomille, pissenlit) constitue un facteur de risque d'allergie au miel et à la gelée royale. L'éviction des produits en cause est la seule parade. Toutefois, le miel et les pollens, et à un degré moindre la gelée royale, sont souvent masqués dans les produits alimentaires, diététiques et énergétiques. Il faut aussi se méfier des compositions d'herboristerie non étiquetées. Une surveillance des accidents allergiques au miel, à la gelée royale et à la propolis est indispensable.
