The disease is caused by fungi of the order "MUCORALES"
This includes rhizopus/mucor/licthemia/cunninghemela species 😮

Coming to the PRACTICAL POINTS that need to be remembered !
🔸Obtain IMAGING even at the slightest suspicion of mucor coz it's RAPIDLY PROGRESSIVE and kills quick.
🔸CT PNS/Orbits
🔸MRI Brain
🔸HRCT chest as per presentation

Should I take steroids as part of Covid treatment?
Steroids can be LIFE SAVING for Covid.
Use of steroids early in the infection, can be counterproductive, but can be life saving when taken at the RIGHT TIME.
📢 Do not self-medicate. Take steroids only on doctor's advice.

Self medication & procedures like steaming have played a big role in increasing numbers of patients getting infected with fungal infections.
Indiscriminate antibiotic use has killed the normal flora allowing opportunistic infections like fungi to grow
The normal flora has also been destroyed by the indiscriminate steaming which patients & people have done, thinking that will kill the virus.
People have taken zinc supplements indiscriminately & this has allowed fungus to grow as zinc is prerequisite for its growth.
People have taken zinc supplements indiscriminately & this has allowed fungus to grow as zinc is prerequisite for its growth.
Normally body when infected with fungi sequestrates zinc away from fungus & the monocytes which attack fungus are devoid of zinc. But with plenty of intake of zinc supplements, high blood & tissue levels it is difficult to achieve zero zinc zone around fungi by our immune system
