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 isolate‐d. The Canadida albicans test demonstrated xanthotoxin and bergapten as the phototoxic compounds.
