Fungal infections can be devastating and very harmful. We have seen various reports of fungal infection with mucormycosis, termed as “Black fungus”, in patients having COVID 19 or who are recovering from the coronavirus. India has registered around 11,717 cases of black fungus till May 25. Maximum of these cases are being reported from Gujarat and Maharashtra only.
