    Author: Austad J, Kavli G.
    Journal: Contact Dermatitis; 1983 Nov; 9(6):448-51. PubMed ID: 6228376.
    Abstract:
    11 men developed a severe phototoxic dermatitis of the hands and forearms after harvesting celery infected with Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. By thin-layer chromatography and fluorescence spectrophotometry, xanthotoxin, bergapten and sphondin were isolated. The Canadida albicans test demonstrated xanthotoxin and bergapten as the phototoxic compounds.
