In
up to 90% of cases, severe halitosis is a result of gastrointestinal
or orolaryngeal problems. This case study reports on a girl
with bad breath caused by increased formation of malodorous
intestinal gases (halitosis), which could be successfully
treated with a suspension of living non-pathogenic bacteria
Escherichia coli. Conclusion: in unclear cases of bad breath,
an increased formation of intestinal gases should also be
considered.
