Around 50 #BlackFungus patients at Govt ENT Hosp, and Gandhi Hosp in #Hyderabad. #Telangana Health Officials urged people not to panic over the fungal infection, reports @Shiva_THNews

@Shiva_THNews The @DMETelangana Dr K Ramesh Reddy spoke about some #hospitals are indiscriminately prescribing drugs. Attendants are running around chemists asking for antifungal medicine vials for #BlackFungus. He said some doctors seem not to have clear cut awareness on it. @Shiva_THNews

@Shiva_THNews @DMETELANGANA @DMETELANGANA said a committee would be formed to examine requirement of antifungal meds for #BlackFungus patients admitted at hospitals. @Shiva_THNews

@Shiva_THNews @DMETELANGANA The committee will examine requirement of antifungal meds for #BalckFungus patients, examine severity and will give permission. People can get the meds from stockists. “This will stabilize in 1-2 days,” @DMETELANGANA @Shiva_THNews

@Shiva_THNews @DMETELANGANA People with #diabetes, #Immunocompromised patients, have to regularly check their sugar levels. “There will be no problem to immunity if sugar levels in control. Chances of fungal infections like this (#BlackFungus) comes down,” @DMETELANGANA @Shiva_THNews
