Neurotoxicity following the Ingestion of Bilimbi Fruit ( < b > < i > Averrhoa bilimbi < /i > < /b > ) in an End-Stage Renal Disease Patient on Hemodialysis

Conclusions: The neurologic status without any other known cause and with clear temporal association with the ingestion of the fruit suggests the diagnosis of neurotoxicity. We propose the hypothesis that the bilimbi fruit has neurotoxic effects similar to those exhibited by the star fruit.Case Rep Nephrol Dial 2017;7:6 –12
