- Abstract
The article focuses on allergic contact urticaria from poppy flowers. Poppy flower is an annual, bright red flowered plant of the Papaveracceae family. It grows as a weed in cereal field and country roads. Other flowers of the same family such as Dicentra spectabilis have been reported as causes of allergic contact dermatitis. There are also references on food allergy to poppy seed, but no previous reference have been found to immunoglobin-mediated contact urticaria from Papaver rhoeas flowers.
