One is the second wave of corona in India, due to which many people have lost their close ones. On the other hand, along with Corona, black fungus is also showing its havoc, due to which the cases of black fungus are increasing very fast in many states of India. Due to this, many states of India have declared Black Fungus to be an epidemic.
Where India was searching to eradicate the scientific disease from its roots, in India, black patients, as well as infected patients of white fungus, have started coming to many parts of the country. Experts believe that they are more dangerous than black fungus.
1. What are white fungus? And how is it? What is White Fungus?
This disease is caused by a fungus called mucoramycites which enters the remaining parts of the body through the nose. This fungus is in the air which comes in the nose through the breath. Apart from this, if this fungus comes in contact with a severed limb of the body, then it becomes an infection, it is also known as Candida.
2. Which people are more affected by this?
According to Dr. Chaturvedi, the effect of white fungus is more in the corona-infected patients who are on oxygen support, as well as the risk of it in patients suffering from weak immunity, honey, and HIB. If this disease is caught in time, then it can be avoided by treating it on time.
3. Which parts of the body are affected by this?
According to the senior doctor of KGMU's Department of Microbiology, its effect is seen in the body's eyes, intestines, throat, tongue, and liver. The fungus destroys the cells of these organs, due to which these organs stop functioning. They happen so fast that by the time the patient understands something, they have destroyed and destroyed the body parts before they do. Because of this, even if the corona patient beats the corona, he dies due to the failure of other parts of the body.
4. How can white fungus be avoided?
Dr. Sheetal said that it is easy to avoid this fungus. The equipment being used for oxygen support, ventilator patients, especially tubes should be bacteria-free. The equipment placed on the nose or mouth of the patient should be ensured. Apart from this, there is a high risk in those people who are diabetic patients or are taking steroids for a long time. Sterling water should be used for oxygen cylinder humidifiers. He said that the only way to protect the patient from this fungus is that the patient who is completely toxic on oxygen support.
