Black fungus infection spreads to small intestine in Delhi patients

Over 200 Covid patients who suffered with mucormycosis or the 'black fungus' infection are being treated in more than a dozen hospitals in the national capital, said Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain on Saturday.

Jain cautioned people to be watchful and not resort to self-medication, particularly with steroids.

The health minister stated that as a large number of people have tested positive in Delhi and during the treatment several of them were given steroids, and therefore, people need to be very careful.

As per reports, around a dozen patients suffering from the infection have died in several hospitals in Delhi including at AIIMS, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Moolchand and Aakash Hospital.

Now, the infection has reached to small intestine in two patients of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital.
