[A case of intermittent hypermethioninemia as the cause of disagreeable body odour].
A physically and mentally healthy man aged 22 years was referred for biochemical investigation in a department for clinical biochemistry on account of disagreeable body odour. Ion-exchange chromatographic amino acid analysis revealed intermittent hypermethioninaemia. Dietary treatment with a methionine-poor diet solved the problem both subjectively and objectively. Amino-acidopathy should be borne in mind in cases of individuals with abnormal body odours.
