										<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>
