概要 Pathological subjective halitosis is complaints of halitosis without objective confirmation, others observations, or heliometer readings. Subjective halitosis is reportedly associated with social anxiety disorder. Moreover, the olfactory reference syndrome is a preoccupation with the false belief that the self is emitting a foul and offensive body odor. Generally, patients with olfactory reference syndrome are concerned with different body parts. However, the mouth is the most common source of odor for people with this syndrome, implying that the two conditions share similar features. Therefore, we investigated potential causal relationships among pathological subjective halitosis, olfactory reference syndrome, social anxiety, and preoccupations with body part odors.
