Title

Review article on A Deadly BLACK FUNGUS (Mucormycosis) And its Association With COVID-19

Abstract

After first phase of Covid-19, the second wave affects a lot to the Indians with mysterious fungal infection known as Mucormycosis. Mucormycosis is an infection caused by a group of filamentous molds belong to order Mucorales and class Zygomycetes. Mucormycosis is commonly known as black fungus disease. This infection mainly targets diabetic and immune-compromised patients. As COVID-19 infection declines the immunity of patients, so mucormycosis cases are also increasing due to inhalation of molds containing industrial oxygen. Here, we reviewed clinical pathogenesis, signs, symptoms and treatment against black fungus. The conclusion revealed that use of immunosuppressant to combat Covid-19 also increases the risk to get infected with mucormycosis. Patients with hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis, solid organ or bone marrow transplantion, liver cirrhosis, neutropenia are more susceptible to get attacked by Mucormycosis moulds. Early diagnosis, removal of predisposing factors, timely antifungal therapy with surgical removal of all infected tissues and adjunctive therapies are four major factors to eradicate Mucormycosis.
