Thousands of Mucor patients in India are trying to save their lives or remove their eyeballs. What does this disease have to do with eyeballs?

On May 22nd, The Times and BBC reported that there were nearly 9,000 cases of mucormycosis in various parts of India, and thousands of infected people had to have their eyeballs removed to save their lives. It is reported that the occurrence of this case is due to the massive use of steroid drugs by local residents in India, which leads to an increase in Mucor cases. Mucor can lead to blurred vision, dyspnea and even life-threatening, and the mortality rate of this disease is as high as 50%.

According to the British "Sun" report, about 60% of patients infected with mucormycosis in India have lost one or two eyes. But if the eyeball is not removed, it will infect the brain and cause life-threatening problems.

It is reported that India has become the third country in the world where the death toll in COVID-19 has exceeded 300,000. It can be seen that the sudden attack of COVID-19 epidemic has a great impact on every country, especially in countries with underdeveloped medical equipment like India. It is relatively difficult to control the spread and ravage of the epidemic. The lack of medical resources and medical space forced some COVID-19 patients to live in trees during the isolation period.

Fortunately, the Indian government has been trying to control the disease. It is reported that the epidemic situation in India has declined since May 9, local time. New Delhi, the capital of India, also said on May 23rd that the capital area may be lifted from the end of May. What did you do before? Seal the city? Measures.

As far as the epidemic situation is concerned, vaccination is very important. It is reported that 39% of the citizens in the United States have been vaccinated, but according to Reuters's report, the total number of people vaccinated in India only accounts for about 3% of the whole country, so the epidemic situation in India may still have a long way to go.

Because India's population base is relatively large, it may not be easy to control, but countries are also helping India fight the epidemic. At this moment, the prejudice between countries becomes meaningless, and all countries and individuals are working hard for this human disaster.

And at present, COVID-19 is likely to exist with human beings for a long time, so we need to vaccinate regularly like influenza prevention. People need to take personal protection as a habit of daily life, wear masks when going out, disinfect with alcohol when entering and leaving the house, ventilate indoors and disinfect regularly to ensure the cleanliness of living space. At the same time, we should constantly improve our immunity and work and rest reasonably. Only by improving your immunity can you have a better state against viruses. Therefore, in the era when sub-health is so prevalent, it is still necessary to exercise more.
