OP-ED: How worried should we be about black fungus?

Mucormycosis is rare, but treatment is rather expensive
Rare infections such as black fungus (mucormycosis), white fungus (candidiasis), and yellow fungus have emerged as secondary diseases in persons who recovered from Covid-19, and specialists believe this is due to an overuse of immune-suppressing medicines during the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to official sources, a Bangladeshi hospital in the capital Dhaka has found two cases of black fungus, which has been labelled an epidemic in neighbouring India. Unfortunately for Bangladesh, the possibility of an outbreak has spread to the country as a result of an increase in its neighbouring country, India. There have been reports of black fungus being present in a few Covid-19 infected patients.
