Abstract: (french)
L'eczéma de contact représente une dermatose très fréquente au Maroc et qui représente environ 20 % des maladies dermiques traitées en milieu hospitalier marocain. L'objectif de ces travaux est d'étudier l'activité anti-eczémateuse des huiles essentielles de trois plantes aromatiques et médicinales marocaines : Thymus vulgaris, Citrus limonum et Mentha spicata vis-à-vis de l'eczéma de contact qui est une manifestation allergique au niveau de la peau, en réaction au contact d'une substance étrangère dite allergène. Cette affection se caractérise par des lésions déchiquetées, parfois microvésiculeuses ou sèches. Ces lésions sont caractérisées sur le plan fonctionnel par un prurit intense et à force de grattage, elles peuvent s'infecter. Les trois huiles étudiées, ont montré une efficacité dans le traitement de l'eczéma de contact.
