Hyderabad: As experts in the country try and decode the exact reason behind the surge in mucormycosis infections among recovered Covid-19 patients, there are some treatment facilities in Telangana, without a single case of black fungus among its patients.
While there have been case of patients who were never on oxygen support and recovered in home quarantine contracting the dreaded fungal infection for misuse of steroids, city doctors say use of anticoagulants and vasodilators medicines might have been the key to prevent mucormycosis.
“We have been discharging our patients with vasodilators and anticoagulants like asprin and haven’t seen a Covid patient discharged by us return with mucormycosis. We believe these medications have a role in preventing the fungal infection,” said Dr K Prashanth Kumar, consultant physician Sunshine hospital.
“While mucor is present in environment, it is invading our bodies due to the decreased immunity levels. Covid-19 is severely decreasing the immunity levels and with the fungus entering the body through the nose, it causes thrombosis in the blood vessels around the nose, cheeks and eyes,” he added.
