新冠病毒、糖尿病和类固醇引发新毛霉菌病浪潮

MUMBAI: The “unholy trinity” of Covid-19, diabetes and steroids seems to be fuelling the present outbreak of mucormycosis across the country, but India has for long been the world’s worst hotspot for this black fungal infection.

孟买：新冠病毒、糖尿病和类固醇似乎正在加剧目前在印度全国各地爆发的毛霉菌病，但长期以来，印度一直是这种黑真菌感染最严重的地区。

“Mucormycosis is an uncommon fungal infection although India had the highest reported cases of mucormycosis in the world even before Covid,” said Kolkata-based endocrinologist Dr A K Singh who, along with Dr Shashank Joshi from Mumbai and Dr Anoop Misra from Delhi, published a paper on Friday on the reasons for the mucormycosis “escalation” in the country.

加尔各答内分泌学家A K Singh博士说：“毛霉菌病是一种不常见的真菌感染，尽管在新冠疫情爆发之前，印度的毛霉菌病报告病例也是全球最高的。”加尔各答内分泌学家A K Singh博士与来自孟买的Shashank Joshi博士和来自德里的Anoop Misra博士在周五发表了一篇论文，阐述了毛霉菌病在印度“升级”的原因。

According to Dr Joshi, while endocrinologists would see a diabetic patient with mucormycosis once in two months, the Covid-19 pandemic changed that. “Now doctors are seeing multiple cases in a day. This exponential rise is a cause for concern,” said Dr Joshi, a member of the Maharashtra government’s task force on Covid-19.

Joshi博士表示，内分泌学家每两个月才诊治到一名患有毛霉病的糖尿病患者，但新冠疫情改变了这一情况。现在医生在一天内诊治到了多个病例。这种指数级增长令人担忧。 Joshi博士是马哈拉施特拉邦政府新冠肺炎特别工作组的成员。

For the article published in the peer-reviewed and indexed medical journal, `Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome: Clinical Research & Reviews’, the doctors reviewed medical literature until May 12, 2021 and found that the highest incidence was in India—83 out of 101 published cases across the world.

在同行评议和索引医学期刊《糖尿病与代谢综合征:临床研究与评论》上发表的一篇文章中，医生们查阅了2021年5月12日之前的医学文献，发现印度的发病率最高，在全球发表的101个病例中有83个在印度。

More than two-thirds of these patients had uncontrolled diabetes and two-thirds had received a course of steroid for Covid. These findings suggest control of diabetes and judicious use of steroid is necessary to reduce black fungal infection, they said.

其中超过三分之二的患者患有无法控制的糖尿病，三分之二的患者接受了一个疗程的类固醇治疗。他们说，这些发现表明，控制糖尿病和明智使用类固醇对于减少黑真菌感染是必要的。

Slowly and steadily we or our generation will become like hybrid seeds required chemical fertilizers, herbicide, insecticide and fungicide with regular intervals . Life will become like zombie.

我们这一代印度人将逐步变成杂交种子，需要定期使用化肥、除草剂、杀虫剂和杀菌剂，人将变得像僵尸一样。

It's not covid, diabetes and steroids but kumbh mela fuelling new mucormycosis wave .

引发毛霉菌病浪潮的不是新冠病毒，糖尿病和类固醇，而是大壶节。

this is something very fishy. USA,UK etc all had covid,all had steroids and diabetes. still they didn't get mucormycosis on such a large scale. Something we are missing here

非常可疑。美国、英国等国都有新冠病毒，类固醇和糖尿病，但他们并没有如此大规模地感染毛霉菌病。肯定有不为人知的原因

India has a distinction of being diabetic capital of the world. No wonder why we see such a humongous increase in black fungus cases although indiscriminate usage of steroids may have been part of the culprit.

印度是世界糖尿病之都。毫无疑问，尽管滥用类固醇可能是黑真菌病的元凶之一，但病例增长太迅猛了。

very low levels of hygiene are responsible for this .People should also eat nutritious cow meat and soup for recovery
