Aurangabad, May

20:

Several patients

recovered from the Corona infection are complaining of fungal infection in the

post Covid phase. The patients are suffering from the fungal disease like

mucormycosis. These patients are also reported in the city. Presently, 43 such

patients are being treated at the Government Medical College and Hospital

(GMCH) while 13 patients have died, informed the GMCH administration.

Mucormycosis is caused by the fungus in the

atmosphere. This disease is not new for the doctors and earlier the patients of

this disease were reported. However, after getting recovered from Corona

infection, the patients suffer this disease due to the less immunity and

increase in the blood sugar level. However, this disease can be brought under

control completely if diagnosed in the early stages.

These 43

patients of fungal infection are being treated in ward No. 12 in GMCH. Ample

amount of medicines and injections are available from the treatment, informed

dean Dr Kanan Yelikar.
