China News Service, July 22. According to foreign media reports on the 21st, the Indian Ministry of Health stated that as the new crown epidemic continues to spread in India, the number of Mucor mold infections in India has also increased sharply in the past two months, and the number of confirmed cases has exceeded 45,000 cases and more than 4,300 deaths.
According to reports, the Indian Ministry of Health revealed on the 20th that the number of mucormycosis infections has exceeded 45,000, and the number of deaths reached 4,332.
A local doctor familiar with the disease said that the number of cases may be underestimated because it is difficult to diagnose in small hospitals and rural areas.
Indian health experts call mucormycosis an "epidemic disease", caused by the "mucor mold" fungus that exists in the natural environment. New crown patients with diabetes are susceptible to infection with the pathogen after hormone therapy. The symptoms are: Headache, nosebleeds, hemoptysis, facial numbness and swelling, blurred vision, difficulty breathing, etc., have a high fatality rate.
Recently, the results of a survey showed that as many as two-thirds of India’s population have antibodies to the new coronavirus.
Officials believe that the rise in the seroprevalence rate is caused by two factors-the second wave of the epidemic and the vaccination.
