10-member committee to have experts from medical field
The Department of Medical and Family Welfare will constitute a multi-disciplinary research team, comprising 10 experts drawn from various branches of medicine, to determine what causes mucormycosis in some COVID-19 patients, Minister for Medical and Family Welfare Ma. Subramanian said. Speaking to reporters in Thoothukudi on Tuesday, Mr. Subramanian said there were diverse opinions regarding the cause of the fungal infection, with diabetes, dialysis for renal failure or steroids administered to COVID-19 patients during the course of treatment being cited as reasons. While European countries had rejected the steroids theory, a few others had suggested that the contaminated water being used in some instances for producing oxygen may have caused the infection.More Related News
