Explanation:
Dr Mathew explains that the treatment of Mucormycosis involves a combination of surgical debridement of involved tissues and antifungal therapy. She says, "Intravenous (IV) Amphotericin-B is part of antifungal therapy. The usual starting dose is 5 mg/kg daily of Liposomal Amphotericin-B or Amphotericin-B Lipid Complex, and many clinicians will increase the dose up as high as 10 mg/kg daily to control this infection. But this cannot be taken without the doctor's prescription and is to be administered only in an hospital setting. The duration of this treatment is three weeks, followed by oral medicines for another three to six weeks."
Meanwhile the doctor also says that the screening of the infection should be ramped up. She explains, "screening for the black Fungus is a crucial step for early intervention. Also, elimination of predisposing factors for infection, such as Hyperglycemia, Metabolic Acidosis, immunosuppressive drugs, and Neutropenia, is also critical. Due to the difficulties in establishing a definitive diagnosis, many patients will be empirically treated for Mucormycosis because they have risk factors for infection and positive cultures and/ or compatible clinical syndromes. But this again will depend on the patient's case."
