Black fungus: India reports nearly 9,000 cases of rare
infection

The normally rare infection, called mucormycosis, has a
mortality rate of 50%, with some only saved by removing an
eye.

“The black fungus infection has now become more challenging
than Covid-19. If patients are not treated in time and
properly, than the mortality rate can go up to 94%. The cost
of treatment is expensive, and the drugs are in [short
supply],” Dr Pandey said.
