There has been a rise in black fungus cases in India. The infection mostly affects the eyes and lungs. It has become another concern amidst the second wave of Covid19. While all this is happening, a hospital in Delhi reported two cases where the infection was found in the intestine.
What comes as a surprise is that two such cases were reported at the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital but among them, one patient did not even take any steroids. The excessive use of steroids in Covid treatment has been identified as the major reason behind Black fungus infection.
