Black Fungus Infection Is Not Any New Infection, Says AIIMS chief Dr Randeep Guleria • #PublicTV #BlackFungus #RandeepGuleria • AIIMS chief Dr Randeep Guleria on Saturday said the black fungus infection, called mucormycosis, is not any new infection but the number of cases has suddenly increased because of Covid-19 and its treatment. The spores of this fungus are present in the air, in soil and sometimes in food, but its virulence is low. So wearing the mask is very important, especially if you visit a construction site, Dr Guleria said adding that at AIIMS Delhi there are 23 cases of the infection. Out of these, 20 patients are still infected with Covid-19, he said. • Some states are reporting over 400 to 500 cases, Dr Guleria said. Urging hospitals to focus more on infection control, the AIIMS chief said that secondary fungal infection is causing more morbidity and mortality. • Mucormycosis was present before Covid also. During the 2003 SARS outbreak too, this infection was reported, Dr Guleria said adding that Covid infection, diabetes and the misuse of steroid during the treatment of Covid-19 are responsible for the increase in the infection. • During the pre-covid times, this infection was reported only among diabetics with uncontrolled blood pressure level or those who have undergone transplants of chemotherapy, because of immunosuppressive drugs. But because of Covid-19, the infection has become common now, Dr Guleria said. • • Watch Live Streaming On http://www.publictv.in/live • • Download Public TV app here: • Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de... • • iOS: https://apps.apple.com/in/app/public-... • • Keep Watching Us On Youtube At: / publictvnewskannada • Watch More From This Playlist Here: / publictvnewskannada • • • • Read detailed news at www.publictv.in • • Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/publictv... • Follow us on Google+ @ https://plus.google.com/+publictv • Like us @ / publictv • Follow us on twitter @ / publictvnews • • -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- • Public TV brings to you the latest updates from all walks of life, be it politics or entertainment, religion or sports, crime or any other thing.
