										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Centre said it has taken a slew of measures to ensure mucormycosis medicine Amphotericin-B is available in the country adequately as As Prime Minister Narendra Modi talked about mucormycosis and how it is emerging as a new challenge.</div>
<div></div>
<div>The Centre is on its toes, ramping up the capacity of the existing manufacturers, allowing new manufacturers and enabling the import of the drug, to make sure around 5.7 lakh Amphotericin-B vials will be available in the country in June. He also assured 11 manufacturers, including an importer, are now working towards increasing the supply of the drug in the country which will increase the per-month availability.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Mucormycosis is a fungal infection reported among Covid-19 patients, who have a high blood sugar level. Though the fungal infection is not a new occurrence, the number of cases has seen an unprecedented rise in India amid the ongoing second wave of the pandemic. The shortage of Amphotericin-B has added to the crisis, while prompted by the Centre, states and Union territories have now started notifying under the epidemic act. Separate wards, facilities are being brought in place to exclusively treat this fungal infection.</div>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The &#8216;Black Fungus&#8217; also known as Mucormycosis has taken several lives in the country. The fungus is on a major surge since the coronavirus outbreak. As many as 90 people died due to this virus in Maharashtra, reported Rajesh Tope on Wednesday. Along with the news he also notified about the indiscriminate use of steroids to treat the Covid-19 patients.</p>
<p>He told the reporters,&#8221;So far, 90 people have died due to mucormycosis in Maharashtra. It is serious&#8230; It should not  be taken lightly. Indiscrimate use of steroids to treat COVID patients should be avoided&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mr. Tope said that the factors like severe diabetes and suppression of the immune system also leads to catching the virus. The medical experts say that steroids are also a major factor in spreading of the virus.</p>
<p>Mr. Tope added,&#8221;The Maharashtra government is prepared to tackle it and has prepared nine-page guidelines for doctors who treat mucormycosis patients. The guidelines also suggest preventive measures such as use of sterilised and distilled water in humidifiers of oxygen  supplying machines (in Covid-19 wards)&#8221;.</p>
<p>As compared to the first wave, the cases of Black Fungus has rapidly increased in the second wave.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Telemedicine has played a vital role for the patients in home isolation. Hence it must be stretched and made available to the rural areas. Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed the need of the same because of the gradual shift of the pandemic from urban to rural areas.</p>
<p>The Prime Minister was interacting with a Group of Doctors via video conferencing from beyond the country. He praised the doctors for forming teams and providing telemedicine to the villages.</p>
<p>He said,&#8221;Doctors across the states should form similar teams, train final year MBBS students and MBBS interns, and work towards ensuring that all tehsils and districts of the country have telemedicine service&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mr. Modi also talked over the challenges of Black Fungus and asked the doctors to put some extra efforts. Doctors made him aware about their preparedness on the issue.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The cases of mucormycosis have been gradually increasing on an everyday basis. It is also known as the &#8220;black fungus&#8221;  which is sometimes causing more death than Covid-19. Doctors say that the misuse of steroids should be controlled as it has been seen as a major cause of the fungal infection.</p>
<p>Dr. Randeep Guleria, AIIMS director warned on Saturday about the cases of mucormycosis infection which is on the rise among various susceptible patients. He added that the major cause for the same is considered to be the misuse of steroids. He said that the patients having diabetes or Covid-19 infection and are taking steroids have a major chance of getting the fungal infection.</p>
<p>The director of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Dr. Guleria said that to prevent the spread of the fungal infection, misuse of steroids should be stopped. He also added that the infections that re fungal as well as bacterial are causing more deaths in the recent days including the Covid-19 virus. Thus it becomes more important to follow the protocols of infection control practices at the hospitals.</p>
<p>The AIIMS Chief also said that the spores of the black fungus are found in soil, air as well as food. In the guidelines over black fungus infection, the central government requested people to be extra careful with regard to the infection protocols since the fungus enters the body through any cut, scrape, burn or any type of skin trauma where the skin comes in contact with the fungal spores present in the environment.</p>
