There was an interesting article in my local weekend paper (Q Weekend Magazine; Don't let the bugs bite) about the re-use of an old drug, pentosan polysulfate sodium (PPS), as a treatment for the debilitating fatigue and joint pains that are hard to treat in Ross River Virus.
The Virologist, who also had the virus herself, was looking for any novel anti-inflammatory, antiviral combination drug to try and found that the 50 y.o.drug, used orally in Interstitial Cystitis, was remarkably effective for these symptoms in some patients in doing preclinical trials into the drug as an injection.
