GRH successfully treats all 365 patients of mucormycosis during second wave
The Hindu
It is a tertiary centre for southern districts
MADURAI When the second wave of COVID-19 hit the country earlier this year, many among the survivors reported mucormycosis, an invasive fungal sinusitis that threatened to cost life or an eye in a patient. But a prompt and multi-disciplinary management of such patients at the Government Rajaji Hospital, Madurai, has helped to treat successfully all the 365 patients admitted between May and now. The GRH is one of the six nodal centres for screening mucormycosis in the State and a tertiary centre for the southern districts. After the Tamil Nadu Government declared the Black Fungus a notifiable disease under Epidemic Diseases Act 1897 on May 20, a 60-bed mucormycosis ward was set up at GRH on May 25.
