The Truth About COVID-19 and Black Fungus
View pdfcopyCopy to clipboardOpen in tab
The novel coronavirus has recently been linked to two serious fungal infections: COVID-19 associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) and COVID-19 associated mucormycosis (CAM).1 The resurgence of these rare fungal infections has medical personnel concerned.
A 2021 study found that more than 47,000 cases of CAM were reported in just three months in India. And with the Delta variant spreading worldwide, reports suggest that the number of cases is likely much higher.2
Aspergillosis and mucormycosis, which is often, mistakenly, referred to as “black fungus”, existed before COVID-19, though it is rare and primarily affects people with severe illnesses—such as bone marrow transplants or acute myeloid leukemia—and people in the ICU with damage to the lungs.3 However, it has been exacerbated with COVID-19.1,4
Common misconceptions
The term “black fungus” has been used by the public to describe mucormycosis; however, according to Jay Aram, MD, Global Medical Affairs Lead, Anti Infectives at Pfizer, black fungus is actually a different category of fungus that is not associated with CAPA or CAM. Instead of black fungus, the medical community prefers to use "mucor fungi."
Another common misconception of CAPA and CAM is that they are contagious.3 “This is not true,” says Aram. “These infections develop due to exposure to the fungal the spores
The most commonly reported fungal infections in patients with COVID-19 include aspergillosis, invasive candidiasis, and mucormycosis (sometimes called by the misnomer ”black fungus .”1–6 Fungal infections resistant to antifungal treatment have also been described in patients with severe COVID-19.

Humans are not prepared for a pandemic caused by fungal infections. Changes in the environment and climate, as well as fungicide overuse in agriculture, have driven a rise in fungi capable of infecting people and evading the few drugs designed to fight them.Aug 5, 2022

LONDON, Oct 25 (Reuters) - The World Health Organization has drawn up the first ever list of fungal pathogens posing the greatest threat to human health, warning that some strains are increasingly drug-resistant and becoming more widespread.
The U.N. body, which has similar lists for viruses and bacteria, said fungal infections and their increasing resistance to treatment were a growing risk. However, a historic lack of focus on the danger meant there were huge gaps in knowledge, as well as a lack of surveillance, treatments and diagnostics.
May 11, 2021Aspergillus flavus, another important pathogen of maize, when exposed to high carbon dioxide concentrations and high temperatures, produces higher amounts of the carcinogenic mycotoxin aflatoxin B 1, with an increased risk for human and animal health. In this case, the genes involved in the aflatoxin biosynthesis get activated earlier in the fungal life cycle; because this

Abstract. The spectrum of disease produced by Aspergillus species ranges from allergic syndromes to chronic pulmonary conditions and invasive infections. Invasive aspergillosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality
