I'm a current LPN student. I'm currently in Med-Surg and trying to remember common signs and symptoms of common conditions. I know my question might sound weird, but while studying, I was wondering...are there alot of conditions that can be recognized by a smell? Diabetic Ketoacidosis has the fruity or acetone smell as a sign and with wounds you can sometimes smell infections. Just was wondering are there other conditions that has specific smells as a symptom?
