Abstract
UNZUETA-ROCH, J. L.; PIZARRO PIZARRO, I.; ASTIZ BLANCO, M. I. and HERNANDEZ DELGADO, M. J.. Photosensitivity by Ruta graveolens. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2014, vol.16, n.64, pp.327-329. ISSN 1139-7632. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1139-76322014000500009.
Introduction: Phytophotodermatitis is exceptional in pediatric population. Case: we report a case of a 12 year old female patient admitted in our clinic due to asymptomatic brown macular lesions. The lineal pattern trough the inferior limbs was remarkable and, after dermatological review, a phototoxic reaction was first considered. Afterwards the patient declared she had used a rue alcoholic solution. Conclusion: lineal acquired dermatological lesions commonly have an exogenous origin. It’s important to know the circumstances that underwent before they appear to make a right diagnosis.
