The Rise of Mucormycosis: Understanding the Causes and Impacts of this Deadly Fungal Infection

David James

Mucormycosis is a rare but deadly fungal infection that has recently emerged as a significant health concern in several parts of the world, including India, which is currently facing a major outbreak. The infection, also known as zygomycosis, is caused by a group of fungi called mucormycetes, which are commonly found in soil, decaying organic matter, and other environmental sources. While the fungi are widespread, infections are rare and typically occur in people with weakened immune systems or underlying medical conditions. However, the recent outbreak in India has raised concerns about the spread of the infection and the need for effective prevention and treatment strategies.
