It is important to note that a single uric acid determination may be normal in 25% of cases of acute gout, so one normal uric acid measurement does not exclude gout. Therefore, it is essential to have serial measurements during the course of an attack.
Bad Body Odor â Causes of Fecal, Fishy and Foul Smell. A bad body odor may not only be due to the odor from the skin. Halitosis (bad breath), offensive groin odor and even bad foot odor are all factors to consider in body odor. In close proximity to others, even odors in concealed areas may be detectable. Offensive smelling discharge from any orifice, even the ear, may be responsible for bad body odor.
Unpleasant body odors (bromhidrosis) can be due to poor personal hygiene, but foul breath is often a signal of an underlying health problem. Such breath often originates in the mouth as the result of infected teeth or gums, a coated tongue or dry mouth. These conditions usually can be corrected.
