[Evaluation and treatment of wound odour].
Some wounds are foul-smelling; this may be temporary or continuous. Since the ability to perceive odour varies from one individual to another, it is complicated to evaluate and use this symptom for diagnostic purposes. Various conventional and alternative treatments can be offered but there is no single, universal solution.
