“Most medications we have in our toolbox kill pathogens, but we were thrilled to find that fluoxetine [Prozac] can protect tissues and organs, too. It’s essentially playing offense and defense, which is ideal, and especially exciting to see in a drug that we already know is safe to use in humans,” said Professor Janelle Ayres, holder of the Salk Institute Legacy Chair and an HHMI Investigator.

"If an infected individual is shedding virus via tears, it could reach the nasal cavity, where it could go more directly to the brain," said Professor Deepak Shukla of the Univeersity of Illinois at Chicago. "I think it's underdiagnosed and understudied, but the neurological consequences, we believe, are much more severe than you would normally see with fever blisters or ocular infection."

When a person has a persistent fever that cannot be explained, it is called fever of unknown origin (FUO), and it's estimated that globally, the causes of around half of all FUO cases are never determined. Scientists have now used many diagnostic tools to re-examine FUO cases in Sub-Saharan Africa to try to reveal more about the causes of these illnesses.
