Abstract

Eucalyptus oil consumption is well known to cause adverse effects on central nervous system like seizures, ataxia and unconsciousness. No antidote is available and treatment is largely supportive. We report a case of rhabdomyolysis with pigment cast nephropathy and acute kidney injury in a young female following eucalyptus oil consumption and its successful management.
