A Mucormycosis Early Detection Centere was launched by MaxiVision Eye Hospitals group at its Somajiguda branch here to identify the fungal infection in its initial stage. Early diagnosis and treatment of the fungal infection help save lives and prevent it from turning lethal. A team of doctors including an opthalmologist, ENT specialist and microbiologist examine patients for presence of Mucormycosis. If the fungal infection is detected, the team of doctors will check the severity. Patients are referred to government hospitals where treatment is offered free of cost. Founder and co-chairman of the hospital group, Kasu Prasad Reddy said Mucormycosis is an aggressive fungal infection, acquired primarily via inhalation of fungal spores in hosts with weak immunity or through direct entry during trauma.More Related News
