Osmidrosis

This is that disease in which the odor of the perspiration becomes so offensive as to constitute "the thing to be remedied".

Osmidrosis may coexist with other functional derangements of the sweat apparatus. In general diseases the sweat exhibits very peculiar odors - in rheumatism it is "rank", in scurvy, "putrid", in chronic peritonitis, "musky", in scrofula like "stale beer", in intermittent fevers like "fresh-baked brown bread", in fevers, "ammoniacal", and so on. When the feet are affected, the sweat is sometimes most offensive, especially in the summer time.
