Hereโs a post-COVID alert โ Check this out for symptoms and risk factors of Mucormycosis, also called Black Fungus. Catch the symptoms early, save lives.
๐ฐThis is an appeal for all those who have returned after defeating COVID in hospital. Even if you are free from the virus, you still have to stay alert. Because of the medication used for most serious COVID cases, especially steroids, your immunity might be suppressed for a while, which makes it easy for opportunistic infections like Mucormycosis.
๐ฐWhat is mucormycosis?
Mucormycosis, a serious fungal infection but otherwise rare, has been observed in a number of Covid-19 patients recently. The disease often manifests in the skin and also affects the lungs and the brain.
๐ฐWhat we talking about is a rare disease called Mucormycosis which is caused by a variety of fungus, the spores of which are everywhere, and enter our body through the air and cause disease. Normally, these are not potent enough to affect our body but due to steroids used in COVID and especially in those already suffering from an immunocompromised state such as diabetes mellitus, AIDS/HIV etc, these fungi make use of low immunity and cause infection.
๐ฐHow do you suspect Mucormycosis?
So, if after returning from COVID hospital, you come across any of the symptoms such as headache, eye ache, nasal congestion, nasal discharge, facial pain, jaw pain, any painful swelling in the face or jaw, fever etc, do not hesitate and immediately seek an appointment with either an ENT surgeon or a general physician.
[NOTE : The infection is not contagious and cannot be transmitted from person to person.]
