The Pressing Need for Early Detection of Mucormycosis during COVID-19

DONGGUAN, China, June 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Mucormycosis or black fungus, a devastating infection that soars in India during COVID-19 has seized global attention. Recently, the country's mucormycosis cases reached over 57,150 and resulted in 54% mortality. Apart from the association with high diabetes prevalence in India, COVID-19 infected countries (Pakistan, Russia, Nepal, Chile, Brazil, etc.) have also described the same issue, areas with high diabetes and COVID-19 infection rates should be alarmed.

Fapon Biotech calls for cooperation with academic and industry partners in developing mucormycosis diagnostic tests to ease the challenge by sharing the abilities of upstream raw material development platforms and downstream reagent application platforms.
