COVID-19 A large number of people were infected in the second wave. A large number of people died due to infection. At the same time, many people recovered after getting treatment at the right time. But, many of these people were affected by the problem of black fungus after recovering from Corona. In the beginning many people died due to black fungus. However, later the doctors operated and brought many people back from the brink of death. Then the doctors admitted that repeated use of the same mask, old oxygen supply system installed in hospitals and excessive use of steroids were responsible for black fungus. But, now after long research, the doctors of AIIMS in Delhi have found out the exact cause of black fungus.
Black fungus is also known as mucormycosis. This is a very dangerous infection. This infection is caused by a group of fungi called Mucormycetes. This infection affects the sinuses, lungs, skin, eyes and brain. Microbiome is a group of microorganisms that usually live together in any part of the body. According to doctors, a large number of cases of black fungus infection were reported during the second wave of Corona. To get rid of this, the infected people had to undergo immediate surgery.
Why did the cases of black fungus increase after Corona?
Most of the doctors were blaming many reasons for black fungus infection including excessive use of steroids, repeated use of the same mask and oxygen supply system. After the second wave of Corona passed, AIIMS doctors started research and study to find out the cause of the problem of black fungus. According to Dr. Animesh Ray of the Department of Medicine of AIIMS, the results of the research revealed that the cases of black fungus had increased in Corona patients due to changes in the microbiome.
Fungus is already present in every person’s body
Doctors say that fungus is already present in every person’s body. Research revealed that there was a change in the microbiome in people who suffered from black fungus disease after corona. Due to this, a special type of fungus grew rapidly in his body. At the same time, no effect of microbiome was seen in the patients who were not affected by black fungus. Doctors clarified that the oxygen supply system of hospitals, repeated use of the same mask or steroids were not responsible for black fungus.

AIIMS doctors conducted the study by forming three groups
AIIMS doctors created three different groups of patients in the research. After Corona, black fungus patients were included in one group. In the second group, serious Corona patients were included and in the third, people who had recovered after Corona were included. According to the doctors, all the patients were first examined at the time of admission. The study was conducted for the second time after seven days. During this period he was not given any other medicines including steroids.

Changes had occurred even before starting steroids
Doctors found out that even before they started taking medications like steroids, there had been major changes in the microbiome of patients with black fungus. Researchers say that this study will prove to be very helpful in the treatment of serious diseases in future. According to doctors, the condition of the patients had become very serious due to black fungus. In many cases, 40 percent of the patients even died. Due to this disease, maintaining the supply of medicines used in the treatment of black fungus across the country had become a big challenge.
White fungus is more deadly than black fungus
In-depth investigation of some Corona patients revealed that they had become victims of white fungus instead of black fungus. He was given anti-fungal medicines. Now the question arose whether white fungus is more deadly than black fungus? At that time many health experts had said that white fungus is more deadly than black fungus. Experts said that unlike black fungus, white fungus affects not only the lungs but also the nails, skin, stomach, kidneys, brain, private parts and mouth. Let us tell you that the reasons for this have not been ascertained yet.
