Abstract:
The clematis apiifolia A.P. DC. is a plant which belongs to Clematis Linne, Ranunculaceae. It contains anemonol, clematiscampher, clematin, labenzyme, saponin, of which anemonol is a probable irritant reacting component. We report two cases of irritant dermatitis due to Clematis apiifolia A.P.DC. plant. These patients developed painful, inflamed erythematous patches with flaccid bullae and erosions on the application sites of the crushed plant for self-treatment of arthralgia.
