Speculations showed that the rise in black fungus / mucormycosis in post-COVID-19 patients during the second wave of COVID-19 in India could be related to oxygen.
Mucormycosis, known as black fungus, is a fulminant fungal infection. It occurs only when a person's immune system is compromised. Organ transplant patients, cancer patients, those with immune deficiencies, long-term steroid users, and uncontrolled diabetics are at risk for this infection.

Antibiotic resistance infections & approach in homoeopathy medical scienceDrAnkit Srivastav
Antibiotic resistance has become a major public health issue as many bacterial infections are now resistant to common antibiotics. Overuse and misuse of antibiotics has led bacteria to evolve and become resistant. In hospitals, antibiotic use and underlying patient health conditions increase the risk of resistant infections. Community risks include close contact with infected individuals and antibiotic use in livestock. Homoeopathic approaches focus on remedies that address conditions from antibiotic overuse like Carbo Veg, Magnesium Phos, and Opium. Proper antibiotic use and hygiene are important for prevention.

Impact of infectious diseases
As people know, now the COVID-19 is quite serious and spreading rapidly. And people do not have a curing method about it. COVID-19 causes xxx confirmed diagnosis and xxx death in the whole world. Also, people still don't know where COVID-19 comes from and how we can protect ourselves from being healthy. From COVID-19, people should have profound thinking about why infection diseases cause and how can human avoid virus infection and how can government-run do during the virus outbreak and reconstruction after the outbreak. Historically, there are so many infection diseases in the world, such as SARAS, Ebola, HIV and COVID-19.
Most infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi. Diseases can be spread from person to person, directly or indirectly. Zoonotic diseases are infectious diseases of animals that can cause diseases when spread to humans. However, infectious diseases are caused by multiple reasons, mostly infectious is from animals, because some animals they carry the virus in their body, those viruses may not affect themselves, however, when spreading of the virus, the virus will mutate to parasitize humans, and human's body will have an overt reaction to the virus. In this article, it will discuss 4 infectious diseases, SARAS, HIV, Ebola, and COVID-19.
In the first place, whenever someone always have doubts where infectious diseases from, how infectious diseases are formed. 普遍上来说,Infectious diseases usually have a great harm rate, because when an infectious disease breaks out, the doctors usually do not have any preparations, so they can not treat the disease well, or sometimes they can infect the doctor themselves. If people want to protect them in order to avoid disease, the most considerable thing is that they must know least one infectious history, such as how it formed, who is more susceptible to infection, does it have any medical treatment, does it success. SARAS is a typical example about it. Practically, SARS-CoV is the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, and it is deadly infectious diseases and people are also easily infected. SARS- CoV cause 8096 cases, including 774 deaths, in 37 countries for 8 months. The transmit speed of SRAS is very fast, people who get infection, they always have Fever, cough, difficulty breathing, chest radiographs showing shadows of both lungs, and some patients developed respiratory failure. Unfortunately, the use of antibiotics against bacterial infections has not worked. And SRAS infectious for people is depend on the strength of the personal resistance occurs. From research, SRAS-CoV's occurrence of spreading in wild animals. Because the scientist are aware of SRAS virus related to the spread of wild animals. Following this clue, the scientists first targeted the Guangdong wildlife market, and soon isolated and detected exactly the same virus as the SARS virus in the civet cats on the market..
Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It spreads through the air when people with active TB cough, sneeze or talk. Recent developments in TB management include using a combination of antibiotics like INH, RIF, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol for 2 months followed by INH and RIF for 4 months to treat active TB. Managing TB in high-risk groups like those with HIV, diabetes, smoking history requires extra precautions. Experts should be consulted for treating TB in pregnant women or those with HIV to minimize drug interactions and risks.
Smallpox is a deadly infectious disease caused by the variola virus that was declared eradicated worldwide in 1980 through a global vaccination program. It is characterized by a high fever and distinctive skin rash. While two labs currently house samples of the virus, concerns remain that it could be used in a bioterrorism attack given some countries may still have undeclared stockpiles. The only known effective prevention is vaccination with the vaccinia vaccine within a few days of exposure, though supplies are currently insufficient for a large-scale outbreak.

1. The document summarizes a case study of COVID-19, describing its origin in Wuhan, China in late 2019, symptoms, transmission methods, global spread and impact.
2. It discusses prevention methods like physical distancing, treatments under investigation like plasma therapy and vaccines in development.
3. Major challenges discussed include the economic impact on industries, psychological impact on students, and addressing public myths and misinformation about the virus.
This document provides an overview of infectious diseases. It discusses that infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms like viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. Landmark scientists like Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch established the germ theory of disease. Koch's postulates provide guidelines for identifying the microorganisms that cause specific diseases. While most microorganisms in the body are harmless symbionts, pathogens cause issues by destroying cells or releasing toxins. Infectious diseases spread through various methods like coughing/sneezing, physical contact, exchange of body fluids, contaminated water/food, or transmission from animals.
The document discusses black fungus (mucormycosis), which has been affecting some COVID-19 patients in India and Egypt. It provides information on what mucormycosis is, how it spreads, types of mucormycosis infections, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and prevention. It notes that mucormycosis is caused by exposure to mucor mould commonly found in soil and plants. Improper use of steroids to treat COVID-19 and poor diabetes management are contributing to the increased cases. Treatment involves antifungal therapy like amphotericin B and surgery to remove infected tissues.

This document discusses the black fungus (mucormycosis) infection that has emerged as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. It describes how steroid treatments for COVID-19 can weaken the immune system and allow mucormycosis to take hold, especially in diabetic or immunocompromised patients. The main types and symptoms of mucormycosis are outlined. Diagnosis involves microscopy and imaging exams, while treatment requires antifungal drugs and sometimes surgical removal of infected tissues to prevent spread. A relationship between COVID-19, diabetes, and the increased risk of contracting mucormycosis is presented.

oxygen.
We logically have two strong points to strengthen our argument: "Don't link Mucormycosis /
Black Fungus and industrial oxygen."
Industrial oxygen or oxygen cylinders are not related to black fungus infection (also known as
Mucormycosis disease) in any way. This is due to two reasons: first, industrial oxygen or any
oxygen in pure form is toxic and fungus is not capable of growing in it; second, the fungus
plant that grows in water of oxygen flow meters is not capable of infecting a person with
black fungus.
1. Pure oxygen is toxic - black fungus cannot grow in industrial oxygen or oxygen cylinders
Neither fungi nor bacteria can live in 100% oxygen, and even humans cannot breathe pure
oxygen for more than one or two hours. Likewise, there is no way a tiny fungus, mucor, or
black fungus can live in dirty oxygen pipes or oxygen cylinders or industrial oxygen.
Mucor will not grow in oxygen cylinders. Let it be medical oxygen or industrial oxygen.
2. Sporangia cannot grow in water
One more theory around oxygen is that fungus spreads due to unhygienic water used in
oxygen flow meters.
The fungus can grow in water in the form of mycelia only, and Mycelia is like a plant without
flowering. When fungus grows in water or liquid, it cannot germinate and form sporangia. The
fungus cannot release its seeds without sporangia, and Sporangia can grow only on solid
substances.
So even if the water used in flow meters is unhygienic and has mucor growing, it cannot cause
mucormycosis infection.
Mucormycosis causes
We breathe mucor, the fungus that is responsible for mucormycosis, daily.
We do not need unhygienic oxygen cylinders or dirty water inflow meters to get exposed to it.
It attacks us only when our immunity is down. Unfortunately, COVID-19 can bring down our
immunity and increases the risk. The black fungus has been seen in patients who have hardly
taken any medication and got self-healed. This gives us more reason to start the medication
ASAP and avoid health deterioration.
Similar myths involve steroids used for COVID-19 treatment. Steroids can lower immunity
only when taken for a long time. For COVID-19, the steroids are given for a short time and will
not impact immunity. So, steroids that are offered for COVID-19 cannot be the reason.
