Abstract
Five patients presented with chronic gastrointestinal symptoms and nonspecific neurologic complaints, accompanied by reductions in whole blood cholinesterase activity. After the elimination from their diet of fresh fruits and vegetables (possibly contaminated with pesticides), the patients became asymptomatic and their blood cholinesterase activity returned to normal levels. The source of this previously unreported type of poisoning was discussed.
