What is Mucormycosis?

Although Mucormycosis is a rare disease, it is not a new Medical Science.
But the fact is after Covid19 infection the number of Mucormycosis patients is increases and it’s a dangerous. Patients who are recovering well from the Covid19 have a sudden increase in the risk of infection. This disorder is also known as zygomycosis.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), this fungal infection is rare.

The infection is caused by a fungus called Mucormycosis. This fungus exists naturally in the environment, but when the human body’s immune system is weakened, it becomes infected.

When the fungus enters the body through inhalation, it affects the lungs and sinuses. The fungus can also enter the body through open wounds.

The CDC also clarified that Mucormycosis infection is not contagious, meaning that it is not transmitted from one person to another, from animals to humans.

Early and proper diagnosis and proper antifungal treatment are essential for the patient to recover quickly.

As well as adverse effects on the bones of the nose and jaw.
The CDC estimates that a patient has a 50% chance of dying if the infection reaches the brain within 15 days.

Therefore, patients who have recovered from Covi19, especially those with diabetes and other ailments, should undergo a oral health check-up without fail. Because it is better to take care of it on time than to aggravate it.

My heartfelt request to all doctors treating Covid19 is to advise all cured and diabetic patients to undergo oral health check-ups.
