Abstract

As COVID 19 cases are increasing rapidly in India again and making our lives hard, there’s a nasty and rare fungal infection affecting some coronavirus patients and it is giving the country a double blow. Fungal infections can be devastating and very harmful. We have seen various reports of fungal infection with mucormycosis, termed as “Black fungus”, in patients having COVID 19 or who are recovering from the coronavirus. India has registered around 11,717 cases of black fungus till May 25. Maximum of these cases are being reported from Gujarat and Maharashtra only. There are 2,859 cases of black fungus so far in Gujrat, Maharashtra has 2,770 cases, followed by 768 mucormycosis cases in Andhra Pradesh, 752 in Madhya Pradesh, and there are 744 cases in Telangana. Together, these five states have more than 65 percent of India’s total black fungus cases. The capital city has reported 620 cases of black fungus. Union Minister Mr. Sadananda Gowda said on 26th May that there are 119 mucormycosis cases in Delhi.
