Infant/Child with underarm odor

Infant/Child with underarm odor

My son, who is now 5 years old, starting having underarm odor when he was just 9 weeks old.  It wasn't just a slight odor either.  He smelled like a grown man that had never worn deodorant.  It was very offensive.  His pediatrician told me to watch for other signs of puberty, but they never surfaced.  We used deodorant on him for about 6 months and it eventually went away.  
A few months ago (he was 4) it started back.  Now it's worse than ever.  Deodorant helps, but I'm more worried about what's causing it.  What could this be?
