In the wake of India's second wave of COVID-19, hospitals are reporting an uptick in cases of mucormycosis, or "black fungus" - a serious but rare fungal infection.
Black-fungus symptoms
Indian government officials have told doctors to be on the lookout for symptoms of mucormycosis.
It is caused by coming into contact with fungal spores, which can be found in soil, plants, and manure.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, early symptoms include:
One-sided facial swelling
Nasal or sinus congestion
Fever
Symptoms can escalate to:
Blackening of the nose
Blurred or double vision
Chest pain
Breathing difficulties
The only non-covid shared symptom would appear to be the "blackening of the nose".
