What does bromidrosis refer to?

  1. Lack of sweating

  2. Excessive sweating

  3. Foul-smelling perspiration

  4. Bright red perspiration

The correct answer is: Foul-smelling perspiration

Bromidrosis refers to a condition where a person's sweat has a foul odor. It is caused by bacteria breaking down the sweat, which releases an unpleasant smell. Option A, lack of sweating, is not the correct answer as bromidrosis is specifically referring to a type of sweat. Option B, excessive sweating, is not correct as it does not mention the odor associated with bromidrosis. Option D, bright red perspiration, is not correct as sweat should not be red in color.
