Mumbai model would be more relevant for corporations in immediate proximity. With all these corporations, Mumbai model has to be immediately followed, since the citizens in these corporations are not so different from those in Mumbai, Court notes.

(1/n) Thread: Epi-immuno-pathogenesis of #BlackFungus, misnormer for #Mucormycosis.
As of 26th of May 2021, India had noted close to 12,000 cases of Mucor along with the #COVIDSecondWave.
The centre has advised it a notifiable disease under Epidemic act.

(2/n) Pre #COVID19India, Mucor in India was almost exclusive to patients with uncontrolled diabetes, and usually presented along with DKA.
The other subset was among profoundly immuno-compromised hosts and iron overload states.
(3/n) Interestingly, different etiological risk factors cause various clinical presentations of mucor.
- Diabetes with Rhino-orbital disease
- Solid organ transplant recipients with pulmonary disease
- Disseminated disease in hematological malignancies

This was issue related to judicial officers.. court had directed a meeting. Significant developments have happened: Senior Adv Dayan Krishnan for Delhi Judicial Officers Association.

Things are adequate.. govt has appointed Principal Secretary (Law) as nodal officer; Krishnan
The only small issue is with respect to declaration of frontline workers. They have been declared as frontline for vaccination only. If there are any other benefits, that should also accrue to us. That needs to be looked into by govt : Krishnan

#Mucormycosis
#BlackFungus

Self medication & procedures like steaming have played a big role in increasing numbers of patients getting infected with fungal infections.

Indiscriminate antibiotic use has killed the normal flora allowing opportunistic infections like fungi to grow
The normal flora has also been destroyed by the indiscriminate steaming which patients & people have done, thinking that will kill the virus.

People have taken zinc supplements indiscriminately & this has allowed fungus to grow as zinc is prerequisite for its growth.
Normally body when infected with fungi sequestrates zinc away from fungus & the monocytes which attack fungus are devoid of zinc. But with plenty of intake of zinc supplements, high blood & tissue levels it is difficult to achieve zero zinc zone around fungi by our immune system

Let's get facts straight and burst some common myths on #BlackFungus.

Share with and educate those around you as well.
#stayaware.

📢 NO. Black Fungus is not a new disease.

1/8
📢 NO. Black Fungus is not contagious. It doesn't spread from person to person.

2/8
📢 NO. Covid doesnt cause black fungus.

It is a fungal attack that happens when immune response is lowered. During Covid, one reason for more cases is due to unscientific use of steroids. Steroids are greatly helpful when used well, but it suppresses immune response as well

In 🇮🇳 we have had the benefit of research conducted in the west. Masking, Dexamethasone, Lockdowns, Toci, etc have helped us manage the #COVID19 pandemic. But we like to do jugaad so we added to the mix Steam inhalation’s, multiple antibiotics, zinc, Vit C 1/n
Then there are kadhas, 💧 neeti, IVM, HCQ and so on and so forth. We have a high diabetic population which means we have a even higher prediabetic one which when sick with COVID19 can fiddle with our glucose homeostasis. This has probably resulted in a heady mix. 2/n
The west has given us #COVID19Vaccine to protect against #COVID19 We don’t yet have phase 3 data for the really 🇮🇳 one. Whether we like it or not our medical care depends on research done in the west - at least most of it. Now we have the #BlackFungus problem that no one has 3/n

Mucormycosis with COVID in India:
#BlackFungus

Many theories on why incidence is high.

Fix what's in your control:
1) Avoid steroids unless there is hypoxia
2) When indicated, use steroids at right dose and right duration.
3) Check & control blood sugars
4) Avoid antibiotics
There will be hardly anyone who gets mucor without at least one of these 4 factors.

Sure there may be something else going on in addition because we do have a lot people taking steroids and antibiotics for other reasons, and people who have diabetes who hardly ever get mucor.
But it will take time to investigate these additional factors and see if they can be fixed.

If someone is urgently in need of oxygen now, you have to give whatever oxygen is available. No choice. But you could control sugars, and use steroids at right dose for right duration.

Let's do a basic awareness check on #BlackFungus.

Give a shot at these simple queries on #BlackFungus.

It's an anonymous poll, we wouldn't know what you answered - so don't hold back!

1. Black fungus is a new disease. It has been identified after Covid19.

1/n
2. Black Fungus cases are seen only in those with Covid.

2/n
3. Black fungus is contagious. It spreads from one person to another like Covid.

म्युकरमायकॉसिस.. अर्थात ब्लॅक फंगस. अत्यंत जीवघेणा आजार.
महाराष्ट्रात 1500 हून अधिक रुग्ण. यावरचा उपचार अत्यंत महागडा. एका रुग्णाला 100-150 किंवा त्याहूनही जास्त इंजेक्शन्स लागतात. एकाची किंमत 7800 इतकी आहे. सरकारी नव्हे खुल्या बाजारातली. म्हणजे आपल्या आवाक्याबाहेर. #BlackFungus
एखाद्या रुग्णाला 100 इंजेक्शन लागली तर किमान 7 लाख 80
हजार खर्च. डॉक्टरांची फी, शस्त्रक्रिया असं सगळं मिळून 15 ते 20 लाखाचा खर्च. अख्खं कुटुंब रस्त्यावर आणणारा आजार आहे. त्यातही डोळा, दात आणि इतर अवयव गमावण्याची किंवा त्यांना इजा होण्याची भीती वेगळीच. #BlackFungus
सरकारनं म्युकरमायकॉसिस म.फुले जनआरोग्य योजनेत घेतलंय. त्यात किमान 10 हजार आणि कमाल 70 हजार रु. मिळतात. सरकारी रुग्णालयात म.फुले योजना लागू आहे. पण खासगी रुग्णालयं आर्थिक फायद्यासाठी रुग्णांना उभं करतात? त्यामुळे सगळं गहाण ठेऊन रुग्णालयाच्या दारात उभं राहावं लागतं. #BlackFungus
