A person has been found infected with green fungus in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. It is being told that the person was sent home after recovering from corona, but then had to be admitted to the hospital again due to post-covid symptoms. During this, he was confirmed to be infected with green fungus. Doctors told that 90 percent infection was done in the patient’s lungs, after which he was sent to Mumbai for treatment. Presently the patient is undergoing treatment at Hinduja Hospital. Let us know what is the new disease of this green fungus and what can be its symptoms?
Experts say that Aspergillus fungus is called green fungus in common language. There are many types of Aspergillus. It is found in black, blue green, yellowish green and brown color on the body. Aspergillus fungal infection can also affect the lungs. In this, pus fills in the lungs, which makes it dangerous. Actually, this fungus infects the lungs very fast.
Who is more at risk of green fungus?
Experts say that people who already have any allergies, the risk of getting infected with green fungus is higher in them. In this too, if the infected patient gets pneumonia or becomes a fungal ball, then it can be dangerous and fatal.
What are the symptoms of green fungus?
wheezing
difficulty breathing
Fever (in rare cases)
If the infection is severe, the patient may experience chest pain or cough along with blood.
Experts say that although all types of fungus have one thing in common and that is that if the immune system weakens, then fungal infection attacks the body. Fungal infections do not occur in people with healthy and good immunity.
According to doctors, the risk of fungal infection is also higher in people who have had any transplant, such as kidney, liver etc. Apart from this, cancer patients, who are undergoing chemotherapy or who are on dialysis, are also more prone to any kind of fungal infection, because their immunity is weak. So all the people need not panic and be afraid of it.
