印度新冠康复患者感染新型真菌

New fungus stalks Covid-recovered

新型真菌感染新冠康复患者

NEW DELHI: After mucormycosis (black fungus), another fungal infection has been detected in four Covid-recovered patients in Pune in the last three months, raising concerns among the health fraternity. Prabhakar* (66) complained of mild fever and severe lower back pain a month after recovering from Covid-19. He was initially treated conservatively with muscle relaxants and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs without relief.

新德里：继毛霉菌病(黑色真菌)之后，最近3个月在普纳的4名新冠肺炎患者中发现了另一种真菌感染，引起了印度卫生界的担忧。Prabhakar(66岁)在新冠康复一个月后，主诉轻度发烧和严重腰痛。他最初接受肌肉松弛剂和非甾体抗炎药的保守治疗，没有缓解。

A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan revealed severe infection-led bone damage to the spinal-discs spaces called spondylodiscitis. A bone biopsy and culture grew aspergillus species — a type of mold (fungus).

磁共振成像(MRI)扫描显示严重感染导致的椎间盘间隙骨损伤，称为椎间盘炎。骨头活组织检查和培养培养出曲霉种——一种霉菌(真菌)。

Medically termed aspergillus osteomyelitis, the invasive fungal infection is very difficult to diagnose as it mimics spinal tuberculosis. Such fungal infection has been detected in mouth cavities of Covid-recovered patients, and, in rare cases, in lungs. “We diagnosed vertebral osteomyelitis caused by aspergillus fungi species in four patients in three months. Prior to this, aspergillus vertebral osteomyelitis had not been documented in post-Covid patients in India,” Deenanath Mangeshkar hospital infectious diseases expert Parikshit Prayag told TOI.

医学上称为曲霉骨髓炎，侵袭性真菌感染很难诊断，因为它类似于脊柱结核。这种真菌感染曾在新冠康复患者的口腔中发现，在罕见的情况下也会在肺部发现。Deenanath Mangeshkar医院传染病专家Parikshit Prayag告诉《印度时报》：“我们在三个月内诊断出四名患者的脊椎骨髓炎是由曲霉真菌引起的。在此之前，在新冠康复患者中没有曲霉脊椎骨髓炎的记录。”

The common thread in the four was that they had severe Covid and were treated steroids to get over Covid-linked pneumonia and related complications. “Long-term use of corticosteroids may increase the risk of opportunistic infections, depending on the underlying disease being treated and what other drugs are being used,” he said.

这四名患者的共同点是，他们曾患有新冠重症，并接受了类固醇治疗，以克服新冠相关性肺炎和相关并发症。他说：“长期使用皮质类固醇可能会增加机会性感染的风险，这取决于正在治疗的潜在疾病以及正在使用的其他药物。”

Prayag had diagnosed the first patient with aspergillus vertebral osteomyelitis three months ago. “We picked up the fourth case this month. All four patients are undergoing treatment,” Prayag said.

三个月前，Prayag诊断第一个病人为曲霉性椎骨髓炎。“这个月我们收治了4名患者，均在接受治疗。”

High doses of steroids have their own side effects.

大剂量的类固醇也有副作用。

Precautions Prevention extremely important. Covid appropriate behaviour. Government doing Excellent job of Vaccinating 150 crore Bhartiya, 96 crores Already Vaccinated. Compare this with 33 crores USA Population, 6 crores UK Population, miniscule compared to Hindustan. Controlling Explosive Population Growth Most Important as No Amount of Health Infrastructure, Oxygen Plants adequate for such a huge Population Burden

预防措施非常重要。印度政府在为15亿印度人接种疫苗方面做得很好，9.6亿印度人已经接种了疫苗。相比之下，美国3.3亿人，英国6亿，与印度相比微不足道。控制人口增长是当务之急，没有足够的卫生基础设施和氧气厂应付如此庞大的人口

在一个十亿人口的国家，才出现四个患者，说得那么吓人。当你读完我的评论时，可能有10人死于车祸。

这是医疗界的又一次宣传活动。

所有的制药商和供应商都为这个消息欢呼，并开始囤积药品，以3-4倍的价格出售。有些人为了赚钱不惜牺牲别人的生命，不择手段。

Most Indians don't have a spine so that shouldn't really be a problem.

大多数印度人没有脊椎，所以这应该不是问题。

WHO names New fungus which damages the spine disc as #FungulusModi. Symptom - once infected you slowly become spineless and start behaving like a swine

世卫组织将破坏脊椎的新真菌命名为#FungulusModi。症状-一旦感染，你慢慢变得没有骨气，开始表现得像猪一样

The health ministry should mandate the medical fraternity to stop publicizing these things through ordinary news media. These things to be circulated amongst medical fraternity through their House Magazines.

卫生部应该强制医学界停止通过普通新闻媒体宣传这些事情。这些东西要通过他们的杂志在医学界传播。

Covid is as harmless as the flu. Only 4.5 lakh indians have died , though over 50% of the population has been infected ( as per ICMR ). The IFR (infection fatality rate) is similar to the common flu. No need to worry.

新冠病毒无害，和流感一样。印度只有45万人死亡，尽管超过50%的人口被感染(根据ICMR)。感染致死率与普通流感相似。不用担心。

疫苗造成的疾病比新冠病毒本身还要多，新冠病毒和流感一样，存活率高达99% ！别散布对这种新疾病的恐慌

No one questions why fungus is only in India and not in any other country because india is the only country which uses industrial oxygen instead of medical oxygen.... and govt pass on the blame to steroid and other factors to save themselves

没有人质疑为什么真菌只存在于印度而不在其他国家，

因为印度是唯一一个使用工业氧气而非医用氧气的国家....

印度政府为了挽救自己的形象，把责任推给类固醇和其他因素

Feku assumes that Iceland and Italy are our neighbors along with the other countries starting with the alphabet "I"....cos uneducated Feku doesnt know that countries are listed alphabetically

莫迪认为冰岛、意大利和其他以字母“I”开头的国家是我们的邻居....

因为没受过教育的莫迪不知道国家是按字母顺序排列的

Manchester United

Feku doesn't even have the spine to name Pakistan and China as our enemies

莫迪甚至没有骨气把巴基斯坦和中国列为我们的敌人
