Abstract
We report the case of a 9-year-old boy referred to secondary care with an unusual presentation of a fishy odour to his hands, feet, saliva and urine. Laboratory investigations including urine analysis and genetic testing confirmed the diagnosis of trimethylaminuria. The patient was referred to a geneticist and dietician, and consequently treated with dietary modification. He now has an arguably much improved quality of life. 2016 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.Entities:
