Black fungus : India grapples with drug shortage as cases rise among Covid-19 patients CNN 1 hr ago By Esha Mitra, CNN © BSIP/Universal Images Group Editorial/Getty Images Black fungus, or mucormycosis, is caused by a fungus named mucor, which is found on wet surfaces. Several Indian states are facing shortages of a drug used to treat black fungus, a rare and potentially fatal infection that is increasingly being detected in Covid-19 patients, health authorities in the country have warned. The infection, known by doctors as mucormycosis, had been seen in India before the pandemic, but cases are mounting rapidly in coronavirus patients and those who have recently recovered. It is caused by mold found in wet environments and can attack the respiratory tract, particularly of those with compromised immune systems.
