259,551 new cases of KOBID are seen in India, adding to the misfortune of ‘black mushrooms’ | Coronavirus pandemic News

India has reported 259,551 new coronavirus infections in the last 24 hours, with an increase of 4,209 deaths along with an increase in cases of mucormycosis, also known as the “black fungus” of the fungal disease, making treatment even more difficult.

The pollution in the South Asian nation is 26.03 million, with 291,331 dead, according to data from the Ministry of Health on Friday.

The “black fungus” presents a new challenge for those undergoing COVID-19 steroid therapy and those with pre-diabetes.

It blackens or stains the nose, causes blurred or double vision, chest pain, difficulty breathing and coughing up blood.

Doctors believe that the use of steroids to treat severe COVID-19 can cause the condition. Coronavirus patients with diabetes and a weakened immune system are more likely to attack.

Many drugs used to fight coronavirus suppress the body’s immune system, which would normally ward off fungal infection.

The government does not send an alert to states

The Indian Ministry of Health on Thursday urged state governments to declare it an “illness to be reported” under the Epidemic Act, which means that all cases must be identified and monitored.

The government warned that reconstruction and general surgeon teams and ear, nose and throat specialists needed to be trained to care for the growing number of patients.

States across India have also ordered emergency measures to address the rise in the rare infection of those with coronavirus.

The state of Gujarat and Telangana became the last to declare black mushroom epidemics on Thursday, after a day spent in Rajasthan.

The state of Maharashtra has reported more than 2,000 cases. Gujarat, the original state of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has about 1,200 officials, officials said.

Ahmedabad Civil Hospital, one of the largest in Gujarat, was treating 371 cases, according to a spokesman. Health officials said there were about 400 cases in the Rajkot city government hospital.

New Delhi placed special neighborhoods in three hospitals to deal with a larger number of black fungi.

There are more than 200 black mushrooms in hospitals in New Delhi, and there are dozens on the waiting lists for the beds, the media has reported.

The IT center in Bangalore opened special wards on Wednesday, which doctors said were filled in a few hours.

India treats less than 20 cases of “black fungus” a year, but the infection has become a new threat of the coronavirus wave that has killed 120,000 people in the last six weeks.

Although authorities have not said how many people have died as a result of the fungus, the infection kills more than 50% of patients these days. In some cases, surgeons remove their eyes and upper jaws to save lives.

Anti-fungal drugs are the latest long-term shortcoming in India’s health system and social media has been flooded with requests from relatives of mucormycosis patients seeking help finding medicines.

The black fungus is produced by organisms called mucous membranes, which can enter the body as a result of respiratory or skin injuries.

These are naturally present in the soil and in decaying organic matter, but when they are inside humans, they can contaminate air sacs between the forehead, nose, cheek bones and between the eyes and teeth.

Some doctors say that steroid panic has been used to combat COVID-19, which has helped spread the black fungus.

“The separate use of steroids to treat COVID-19 patients should be avoided,” Maharashtra Health Minister Rajesh Top said on Wednesday.

Other doctors say that hygienic conditions when placing coronavirus patients in oxygen cylinders in some hospitals have allowed black fungi to take over.
