Viral RNA was found in liver, kidney, stomach, intestine, brain, blood vessel, lung, breast, skin, and thyroid. vRNA was associated long COVID Sx (OR 5·17, p<0·0001). Patients with higher virus load had a higher likelihood of developing long COVID.

In a nutshell, we showed that over-the-counter cheap generic antibiotic neomycin can be repurposed in nasal formulation to prevent & treat infection, block transmission, and reduce disease burden against a wide array of viruses. Since this is a host-directed strategy and

More than half of the human volunteers who applied Neosporin into their noses showed robust antiviral gene expression (interferon-stimulated genes) measured by nasal brush, compared to placebo controls. We believe we can ⬆️ efficacy with higher neomycin doses. (8/)
