A 38-year-old woman was diagnosed with mucormycosis or black fungus here on Tuesday.
A resident of Udayamperoor, she is undergoing treatment at a private hospital here. The fungal infection developed after she was tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Senior officials of the district health wing said that they had not yet received details on how the woman contracted the secondary infection. Mucormycosis is generally seen in severely ill COVID-19 patients who are on steroids and whose blood sugar levels are disregulated.
K. Babu, MLA, has written to Health Minister Veena George seeking financial help for the patient’s treatment.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
