Ahmed Shariff: Hi this is Ahmed Shariff and welcome to the Lead by DH Radio. In the past weeks, we have seen a spate of cases of Mucormycosis. Now, what exactly is this? To tell us more about this today we are joined by Dr Arunaloke Chakrabarti, president of the International Society for Human and Animal Mycology. He is the professor and In-Charge Center of Advanced Research in Medical Mycology, WHO Collaborating Center for Reference & Research on Fungi of Medical Importance National Culture Collection of Pathogenic Fungi. Hi Dr and welcome to DH Radio.

Dr Arunaloke Chakrabarti: Hi, thank you.

Ahmed: Dr, What exactly is this Mucormycosis and why is it affecting those afflicted with Covid-19, what is the relationship?

Dr Chakrabarti: First, I am happy that you have called it Mucormycosis because throughout the media and everywhere it is mentioned as Black Fungi. It is not at all Black Fungi, the reason is that there is a separate group of black fungi. I don't know where this term has been coined, this is a misnomer.
