INDIAN DOCTORS REMOVE THE PATIENTS’ EYES OVER BLACK FUNGUS OUTBREAK
INDIAN DOCTORS REMOVE THE PATIENTS’ EYES OVER BLACK FUNGUS OUTBREAK
In India, an epidemic of mucormycosis broke out - the eyes of patients infected with this disease suffer the most. Doctors have concluded that often removing them is the only way to stop black fungus.
Indian doctors have taken radical measures to combat mucormycosis - if the disease affects the eyes, then the eyelids, eyeball and muscles around the eyes are surgically removed. As a result, patients are left with only the eye sockets.
Doctors from Mumbai noted that people began to die from ‘black mold’ more often than from Covid-19.
The chance of survival with mucormycosis is estimated at about 70%, but if the infection manages to get into the brain, then the number of successful outcomes is reduced to 10-15%.
It is noted that the eye is very often an infected area. If the infection is in the sinuses, then it is enough to clear them. Now the number of patients with ‘black fungus’ in India is over 31 thousand people, more than 2,000 infected have already died.
The cause of mucormycosis is fungi from various families. When patients are affected, necrosis is recorded in the palate and in the nose. The disease is accompanied by fever, pain, purulent discharge. Indian doctors have also recorded cases of being infected with green and white fungus.
