Hasan ULUER, who applied to our hospital's Ear Nose and Throat Clinic about two months ago with complaints of pain and swelling in the head and eye area, regained his health after a successful surgical treatment. Assoc. Prof., one of our Ear Nose and Throat Clinic doctors who performed the surgery. Dr. Abitter YÜCEL, “Black Fungus (Mucormycosis) Disease is a fatal, but very rare, type of fungal infection disease caused by a type of mold fungus that develops after exposure to mold fungus. Our patient came to us about two months ago with complaints of visual impairment, nasal congestion, facial swelling and pain. We are nearing the end of the treatment as he has overcome the difficult process.


Not every fungal disease may be fatal. We are not talking about the fungal infection of the fingers or nails, which is generally common among the public. We are talking about a type of fungus that is found in rotten vegetables and fruits in the soil, as well as in rotten plants. For this reason, individuals who are especially engaged in gardening and whose immune systems are suppressed are expected to be more careful in this situation. "If even one of the symptoms of black fungal disease, such as visual impairment, nasal congestion, facial swelling and pain, is noticed, it is necessary to apply to the nearest health institution without delay." said.
