Black Fungus
Black Fungus, also known as mucormycosis, is a rare but serious fungal infection caused by a group of molds called mucormycetes. It primarily affects individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those with diabetes or those who have recently recovered from COVID-19. The infection can occur in various parts of the body, including the sinuses, lungs, and skin.
Symptoms of Black Fungus may include facial swelling, nasal congestion, and black lesions on the skin. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial, often involving antifungal medications and sometimes surgery. Awareness of this infection is important, especially for vulnerable populations.
