Why are Covid-19 patients having White Fungus and Covid-19?
The biggest and common relationship between Covid-19 and white fungus is that the symptoms seen after reaching the lungs of this fungal infection exactly match the symptoms of corona.The patients undergo Covid-19 test, but the symptoms remain as the result is negative.Coronaviruses already weaken the body's immunity,it becomes easier for the white fungus to prey on the patient.Through HRCT patches appear in the lungs.
