How about
-alcoholic body odor; its possible to smell the alcohol from their pores when they sweat.
-Fishy odor: trichomonas vaginalis (whiff test)
-bad hygeine body odor.
CF is a salty baby (i don't know if there is an associated odor)

Ok, here are some more.
Causes of body odor include:
drugs, toxins, or herbs, such as alcohol, arsenic poisoning, cyanide poisoning, or cigarette smoking eating certain foods, such as garlic or raw onions, which can cause bad breath excessive sweating inborn errors of metabolism, such as a group of conditions known as aminoaciduria. These tend to be noticed in childhood. infections, such as a lung abscess or pocket of pus, skin infections, vaginal yeast infections, sexually transmitted diseases, or urinary tract infections. These can cause odor in the area of the infection. For instance, a lung abscess can cause bad breath. liver or kidney failure poor hygiene psychological conditions, which may cause a person to think he or she has a foul body odor when none exists tooth or oral conditions, such as cavities, periodontal disease, which is disease around a tooth, or gingivitis, which is inflammation of the gums. These are common causes of bad breath. tumors or cancer, which may cause an odor in the area of the tumor. For instance, tumors of the mouth or stomach may cause bad breath.
