Coimbatore: Black fungus is not a new type of disease. This is a disease that has been going on for many years. Black fungus infection is worse than coronavirus in severity. Coimbatore Government Medical College Hospital has explained how to look out for black fungus infection as the number of black fungus infection is increasing while the impact of coronavirus is declining.
According to the Coimbatore Government Medical College Hospital, black fungus is common in people with normal blood sugar levels. It is a highly contagious disease that affects people with weakened immune systems and people with kidney disease. Sometimes it affects even those who are in good health.
Currently, the coronavirus cases are more after the second wave. This fungus is prevalent in the air we breathe. The germ, which is commonly found in rotten vegetables, rotten fruits, plants and bread in our home, spreads through the air we breathe and gets into our noses. Nothing will happen if our immune system is fine after it’sarrival in our body. When the immune system is weakened, the germ builds up in the flesh of the nose. Once it starts to grow, the germ spreads to the flesh and blood vessels.
In the early stages, when it is only on the inside of the nose, there are symptoms of nasal congestion and runny nose. If we diagnose this disease at this time, it can be easily cured. If delayed, it can affect the eyes and brain, causing loss of vision and sometimes even loss of life.
People with diabetes should be very careful when recovering from an infection. Sugar levels should be kept under control with the advice of a physician.
Seek medical attention immediately if you have any of the following symptoms during or after a coronavirus impact.
1. Nasal congestion
2. Bloody mucus coming from the nose
3. Pain in the face
4. Rashes on the face
5. Reddening of the eyes, swelling around the eyes, eye pain and visual impairment
6. Headache
7. Toothache and shaky teeth
In order to prevent this disease, we need to see a doctor immediately and get proper treatment in case one has had coronavirus infection earlier. Strictly avoid traditional medications and home remedies.
People with diabetes, tuberculosis and cancer should be very careful.
People who wear a cloth mask should not wear it if the mask is wet. The mask should be washed, dried and used daily. The same face mask should not be used continuously.
The government is providing surgery and medical treatment for this black fungus at our Coimbatore Government Medical College Hospital.
For this disease, under the guidance of the Hospital Dean, Professor Nirmala, Head of the Department of Ear, Nose and Throat, Prof. Ali Sultan, Head of the Department of Ophthalmology, Professor of Jeeva Kala, Head of the Department of Anesthesiology, Kalyanasundaram, Department of Jaw and Facial Rehabilitation, Dr. Ramya, Department of General Medicine, Swami, Dr Thanalakshmi, Brain Neurology Surgery, Department of Therapy Professor Venkatesh Venkatesh and Department of Plastic Surgery Professor Ramanan and all Department Physicians are working on this as a team with support from senior medical students nurses.
Patients with the disease are immediately admitted to the hospital for examination and endoscopy. Medications are also given immediately.
So far 264 people have undergone endoscopy and immediately removed the rotten flesh from the nose and sent it for tissue examination. If the bones in the face are damaged, the bones are removed as needed.
So far in CMCH 110 people have undergone sinus endoscopy surgery to cure this disease. About 30 people have lost their eyesight as the disease progressed. But, we have had surgery to cure the disease. If diagnosed early, the disease can be completely cured. Delay can lead to vision loss and loss of life.
The disease requires not only surgery but also the application of a fungicide. This medicine is available in the required quantity in our hospital.
Nirmala, Dean, Coimbatore Medical College Hospital, praised the medical team for their excellent performance.
The public has no need to worry about black fungus. But be sure to be vigilant. If you know the symptoms, you should come to the hospital immediately and seek treatment.
