Covid-19: New fungus damaging spine disc detected in recovered patients

After mucormycosis (black fungus), another fungal infection has been detected in four Covid-recovered patients in Pune in the last three months, raising concerns among the health fraternity. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan revealed severe infection-led bone damage to the spinal-discs spaces called spondylodiscitis. A bone biopsy and culture grew aspergillus species — a type of mold (fungus).
