mycolabadmin

This case study describes a young man who developed whip-like linear rashes on his skin a few days after eating shiitake mushrooms. The rash, called flagellate dermatitis, is caused by a heat-sensitive substance in undercooked shiitake called lentinan. The condition is harmless and disappeared completely within a week after applying a steroid cream, highlighting the importance of cooking shiitake thoroughly to prevent this reaction.

This study examined fungal infections in patients with multiple myeloma who were not eligible for or preparing for stem cell transplants. Researchers found that 6% of these patients developed invasive fungal infections, with yeast infections being the most common type. The risk of these infections was significantly higher in patients taking dexamethasone (a steroid) or those with low white blood cell counts and those receiving multiple cancer therapies.
