Mucormycosis (formerly called zygomycosis) is a serious but rare fungal infection caused by a group of molds called mucormycetes. These molds live throughout the environment. Mucormycosis mainly affects people who have health problems or take medicines that lower the body's ability to fight germs and sickness. It most commonly affects the sinuses or lungs after inhaling fungal spores from the air, or the skin after the fungus enters the skin through a cut, burn, or other type of skin injury. However, it can occur in almost any part of the body. Types of Mucormycosis Rhinocerebral (sinus and brain) Mucormycosis is an infection in the sinuses that can spread to the brain. This form of mucormycosis is most common in people with uncontrolled diabetes and in people who have had a kidney transplant. Pulmonary (lung) mucormycosis is the most common type of mucormycosis in people with cancer and in people who have had an organ transplant or a stem cell transplant.
Gastrointestinal mucormycosis is more common among young children than adults, especially premature and low birth weight infants less than 1 month of age, who have had antibiotics, surgery, or medications that lower the body's ability to fight germs and sickness. Cutaneous (skin) mucormycosis: occurs after the fungi enter the body through a break in the skin (for example, after surgery, a burn, or other type of skin trauma). This is the most common form of mucormycosis among people who do not have weakened immune systems. Disseminated mucormycosis occurs when the infection spreads through the bloodstream to affect another part of the body. The infection most commonly affects the brain, but can also affect other organs such as the spleen, heart, and skin.

In civil, surgery is performed daily on 20 to 25 patients with mucorrhoea
The second wave of corona in the state has shaken people. The number of new patients is constantly increasing as well as the number of patients suffering from other diseases after coronary heart disease. At present, the biggest problem after Gujarat corona is mucorrhoea. DivyaBhaskar has declared Rajasthan an epidemic of mucorrhoea in only 200 cases on the morning of the 20th, so when will the Gujarat government publish it? In the evening following the report, the state government declared Mukar mycosis an epidemic.
A detailed discussion on the epidemic was held at a meeting of the core committee chaired by Chief Minister Rupani. During the discussions at the core committee meeting, it was stated that the disease has been declared an epidemic under the Epidemic Diseases Act, 1857. In this regard, government and private hospitals and medical colleges treating the disease will now have to follow the guidelines laid down by the Department of Health, Government of India as well as the ICMR for screening diagnosis and treatment. Details of suspected as well as confirmed cases of this disease should be sent to the Government of India from time to time.

Around 1200 patients admitted in 4 major cities
Cases of mucomycosis are on the rise in Rajasthan, which has seen the government put the disease under the epidemic as part of security measures. However, if we talk about Gujarat, there are more than 1200 cases of mucormycosis in the civil of 4 big cities and some parts are removed by surgery of 20 to 25 people daily. Yet the government has not yet made a proper decision on the disease. On the other hand, there is a debate among the people as to when the government will consider the disease under epidemic if the number of patients with mucorrhoea is increasing.

8 wards for patients with mucomycosis in civil
There are around 500 cases in Asarwa Civil of Ahmedabad. The ENT building in Civil has 8 wards for patients with mucomycosis, of which 6 wards have pre-operative wards, two post-operative wards, as well as 5 operation theater wards for patients' surgery.

500 in Ahmedabad and 400 in Rajkot
Approximately 125 patients with mucorrhoea have been operated on in the last decade alone, with fortunately the number of patients dying from the disease is currently very low, but the number of new patients is increasing. A total of 1100 cases have been reported in the state so far, of which 500 are in Ahmedabad, 400 in Rajkot, 260 in Vadodara and around 114 in Surat.
Cases of mucomacosis increased from cities to villages
Mucormacosis is slowly spreading to the villages along with the cities of the state, which has led to shortage of medicines for the disease in Gujarat, which is suspected to be due to hoarding and black marketing, so the sale of medicines for the disease is also likely to be curtailed. This is because the Delhi government has strictly banned the sale of drugs for the disease in the public market and arrangements have been made to dispense medicines directly from the hospital to needy patients only.
The disease is more prevalent in people with low immunity.
