Their condition is serious, says hospital Superintendent
Nine COVID-19 patients, who, after recovering, returned to the Government General Hospital here with severe symptoms of headache, fever, pain under the eyes, nasal or sinus congestion, and partial loss of vision, were diagnosed with mucormycosis, also known as Black Fungus.
While five patients had come to the hospital on Thursday, four were admitted on Friday.
“All of them are being treated with oral drugs, as the injectable drugs, which are more effective, are unavailable anywhere in the State. These drugs are likely to reach the teaching hospitals that are designated for treating Black Fungus cases on Monday,” GGH Superintendent K.S.S. Venkateswara Rao told
