Post-infectious body odor

PATM and malodor conditions may develop during and after an episode of infectious disease. 

Our preliminary results suggest that this can happen in long COVID. Other groups are finding this too. A paper by a team from France, led by veterinary scientist Dominique Grandjean, posted their work today on MedRxiv.  It shows that dogs can easily recognize characteristic body odor up to 1.5 year after the initial phase of COVID-19 in at least half of Long COVID patients. 

Interestingly, post-COVID symptoms associated with worsening odor are similar to symptoms observed in our COVID study. Some MEBO participants reported flare-ups of their (previously well controlled) condition post-COVID or temporary excacerbation of body odor post-vaccine.

New Aurametrix blogs talk about long COVID odor and the fact that more people worry about worsening of their body odor after COVID infection.
