Plantago lanceolata, also known as snake's tongue, is a perennial herbaceous plant from the family Plantaginaceae. It is a species widely distributed both in Turkey and all over the world. Today, its fresh leaves are still used to soothe and suppress cough, externally for wound healing and draining abscesses. Phytophotodermatitis (PPD) is a dermal photosensitive reaction induced by the contact to or oral intake of a plant and subsequent exposure to sunlight. Its acute course is called phototoxic. In this paper, two cases developed phototoxic reaction with the consumption of Plantago lanceolata and subsequent exposure to the sunlight. These cases were presented since such effect of the plant has not been known previously and there is no resembling case in the literature.
窄叶车前，又称蛇舌草，是车前科的一种多年生草本植物。它是一种在土耳其和世界各地广泛分布的物种。如今，其新鲜叶子仍被用于止咳和镇咳，外用可促进伤口愈合和排脓。植物性光皮炎（PPD）是一种因接触或口服植物后再暴露于阳光下而引发的皮肤光敏反应。其急性病程称为光毒性。本文报告了两例因食用窄叶车前并随后暴露于阳光下而发生光毒性反应的病例。之所以呈现这些病例，是因为该植物的这种效应此前尚不为人所知，且文献中也没有类似病例。
