The Role of Methylene Blue in the Treatment of Malaria

Methylene blue is also the parent compound of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, which is also another anti parasite infection. There have been a number of clinicians who have extraordinarily suggested the use of methylene blue to treat acute infections like SARS-CoV-2. The coming here will be a little more speculative, but there's definitely animal work, choline, for example, with pulmonary infections that produce damage to the lungs very much the same way that our current COVID-19 virus works. And in those animal models, it is possible to see a benefit through methylene blue.
