What is Mucormycosis or Black Fungus? What is the relationship with corona?
The problems of people who have been infected with Corona and have been cured probably will not end so soon. Mucormycosis or Black Fungus has long been considered a major threat. However, cases of fungal infections have been rarely seen till now. Despite this, the ICMR has warned people that if fungal infection is taken lightly in any way, not only can it cause difficulty in recovery. Rather it can lead to many more problems over time.
Experts on black fungus tell that this happens when a sick person takes Mucromycetes inside while breathing. It is present in the air and enters through the breath. The chest cavity, sinus, and lung cavity are the major issues encounter during Black Fungus. But experts say that this happens when a patient is completely dependent on medicines to recover. In such a situation it can be more dangerous for those who are already suffering from diabetes or any other disease.
