India's countries must declare an epidemic after an increase in the deadly cases of <x0-kirks”, the country's health authorities have said.
The rare infection, called mucomicosis, has a mortality rate of 50 percent. Some people can be saved by removing a bone of their eye or jaw.
But in recent months, India saw thousands of cases affecting cured and recovering patients from COVID-19.
Doctors suspect there may be a link to steroids used to treat COVID.
Diabetes is at special risk, and doctors have told the BBC that this infection strikes 12 to 15 days after the recovery of COVID, reports DailyMail, records Klan Kosova.tv.
On Thursday, Joint Secretary of the Health Ministry Lav Agarwalk wrote to the 29 states of India asking them to declare it as an epidemic.
It is not clear exactly how many cases there have been throughout the country, which is currently in the grip of a second deadly wave from COVID-19 that has left tens of thousands dead.
Doctors also told the BBC that they were forced to remove people's jaw eyes and bones, trying to stop the spread before reaching their brain, thus leaving the patient permanently disfigured.
The increase in cases has led to a lack of “Amphoteric B”, the drug used to treat mucomicosis.
Mucormicosis is a very rare infection. It is caused by exposure to mold, which is usually found on earth, plants, organic manure, and fruits and vegetables to decay.
