Black Fungus (Mucormycosis)

What is called black Fungus?

·       Black fungus "Mucormycosis" is a fungal infection. But black fungus or Mucormycosis is not contagious, so it cannot be transmitted from an infected person. It is caused by the expression of a fungus called Mucormycosis. This is what is called the black fungus.

·       These fungi commonly occur in the environment, especially in leaves, soil, manure and animal dung.

·       Mucormocytes can enter the body through the skin through inhalation, inhalation and exposure lesions.

·       It is an epidemic of infections: infections of rare fungi called Mucormycosis. The infection they cause is called Mucormycosis - a "black fungus".

·       Infections of the sinuses and bones in the face can invade the brain or cause patients to lose their eyesight.

·       It can kill people with trichomoniasis when left untreated and when treatment is long and difficult.

·       They can occur on any part of the body and are contagious.

 

Symptoms of Black Fungus:

Respiratory symptoms:

·       Cough

·       chest pain

·       Headache

·       wheezing

·       Fever

·       Nasal or sinus congestion and pain

   Dermatological symptoms:

·         Ulcers

·       Redness, swelling, tenderness

·       Blisters

·       Dark skin tissue

People with a very weak immune system have a higher risk of Mucormycosis.

• ·       Cancer
• ·       Diabetics
• ·       surgery
• ·       Skin injury
• ·       HIV

Black fungus is more common in people with such diseases.

The disease can be treated with antifungal drugs or surgery to remove the affected area.

People with coronavirus have a weakened immune system. Thus making it impossible to protect the body from infection. As a result, individuals recovering from corona are at risk for black fungus or Mucormycosis.

 

what are the risk factors for black fungus?

·       Diseases that result in compromised blood flow to the tissues.

·       The best example of this is patients with uncontrolled diabetes and foot ulcers, where dirt or bacteria can easily reach compromised tissues.

·       People with burns, malignancies, immune compromised patients, patients who have had spleen surgery, and people with contaminated wounds (usually severe) in soil or ambient water are more likely to develop mycosis.

·       As a result, as a group of people injured in environmental disasters, they are at higher risk for this infection.

 

Treatment of Mucormycosis:

·       The first step in treating Mucormycosis is to inject (IV) fungicides and perform surgery.

·       Surgery involves cutting all the affected tissue or organs. Removal of infected tissue prevents further spread of trusted hemorrhoids.

·       The doctor will prescribe oral medications if they co-operate well with IV treatment and surgery. Otherwise it can go into high danger.

Common fungal medications prescribed by a doctor for Mucormycosis are:

·       amphotericin B (given through an IV)

·       posaconazole (given through an IV or orally)

·       isavuconazole (given through an IV or orally)

Preventive measures against black fungus or Mucormycosis:

·       Mucormycosis is not contagious and therefore cannot be transmitted from an infected person.

·       Self-care measures are essential to prevent this type of infection.

·       If you have a weakened immune system, it is important that you stay safe outside. Wearing a mask while working hard and bandaging wounds until they heal can help prevent fungal infections.

·       It should be noted that when the amount of fungi in the environment is high, more precaution should be taken during summer and autumn.
