Girl hit by 'fish odour syndrome'
-= FOLLOWUP =-

A four-year-old girl has been diagnosed as having a rare inherited condition where sufferers constantly smell of rotten fish.

The child's condition was triggered when fish was included in her diet from the age of nine months.

According to the journal Medicina Clinica, it is the first genetic case of 'Fish Odour Syndrome' to be documented in Spain.

It is estimated there have been just 200 cases seen worldwide since the condition was first observed in the 1970s.
