Kids black fungus

Infection with black fungus or mycobacterium tuberculosis is rare in children. Black fungus is more common in patients with diabetes or coronary artery disease and weakened immune systems. However, due to the good immunity of children and the fact that diabetes is not commonly seen in children, the infection of black fungus is also less among them.

However, some children have recently contracted mucorrhoea. The first child to be infected with Black Fungus in India was found in Gujarat. A 13-year-old man has this disease. An 11-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy were later diagnosed with mucormycosis in Ballari and Chitradurga in Karnataka. However, the two children were already suffering from acute juvenile diabetes, the report said.
