|
Answer» Mr. X’s wound which exudes a thick, GREEN, foul smelling pus is a drainage of myeloperoxidase. Myeloperoxidase is an anti-bacterial protein, green in colour, produced by the human body’s white blood CELLS. Pus in general, is a thick, usually white-yellow-greenish discharge from the site of a wound, which has a very foul smell. It is an anti-bacterial secretion, discharged by the white blood cells to protect the body from infection. The colour and smell of the pus DEPENDS on the type of infection. |
