YELLOW FUNGUS :-

👉 After White Fungus and Black Fungus (Mucormycosis), now another fungal infection ‘Yellow Fungus’ has created a stir. The first case of yellow fungus was reported from Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh on May 24, 2021.

👉Health experts state that Yellow Fungus is more dangerous than White and Black Fungus.

👉Here is everything you need to know about the causes, symptoms, treatment of Yellow Fungus.

What is Yellow Fungus?

👉 Yellow Fungus, dangerous than white or black fungus, is another fungal infection that has been attributed to COVID-19. Health experts say it is a fatal infection.

👉Yellow Fungus is commonly found in reptiles. The first case of Yellow Fungus in humans was reported in Ghaziabad in a 45-year-old man who had recovered from COVID-19.

👉Causes of Yellow Fungus:-

👉Yellow Fungus thrives in unhygienic and high humidity conditions, or consuming unhygienic food.

👉Environments with unsanitary conditions or humidity levels of more than 30 to 40 per cent are home to bacteria and fungus.

Symptoms of Yellow Fungus:-

👉Weight loss
👉 Extreme lethargy
👉Decrease in appetite or no appetite at all
• Internal bleeding
• Pus leakage
• Organs failure
• Malnutrition
• Slow healing of wounds
• Necrosis, in the worst case

Treatment of Yellow Fungus:-

👉The treatment for Yellow Fungus is like that of Black Fungus or White Fungus.

👉The primary treatment is the anti-fungal injection Amphotericin-B.

👉 Health experts state that healing Yellow Fungus takes longer compared to Black or White Fungus.

👉India is currently battling over 9,000 cases of Black fungal infection (Mucormycosis).

👉Most of the cases of fungal infection have been reported in people who recovered from COVID-19.
