A review article on Black fungus

As a rare “opportunistic” fungal disease, the black fungus infection has severely impacted the post-COVID-19 recoveries and imposed an additional burden on our medical and healthcare management system. After the first phase of COVID-19, the second wave affected a lot of Indians with a mysterious fungal infection known as Mucormycosis. Here, we reviewed clinical pathogenesis, signs, symptoms, and treatment against black fungus. The conclusion revealed that the use of immunosuppressants to combat COVID-19 also increases the risk of getting infected with mucormycosis. Patients with hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis, solid organ or bone marrow transplantation, liver cirrhosis, and neutropenia are more susceptible to being attacked by Mucormycosis molds. Early diagnosis, removal of predisposing factors, timely antifungal therapy with surgical removal of all infected tissues, and adjunctive therapies are four major factors to eradicate Mucormycosis. As a result, millions of lives have already been lost. As a result of the mutation, the virus is constantly changing its traits, including the rate of disease transmission, virulence, pathogenesis, and clinical signs. A recent analysis revealed that some COVID-19 patients were also coinfected with a fungal disease called mucormycosis (black fungus). India has already categorized the COVID-19 patient black fungus outbreak as an epidemic. Only a few reports are observed in other countries. The immune system is weakened by COVID-19 medication, rendering it more prone to illnesses like black fungus (mucormycosis). COVID-19, which is caused by a B.1.617 strain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has been circulating in India since April 2021. Mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection induced by exposure to a fungus called mucormycete.
