-

LUCKNOW : Eleven more patients of black fungus (mucormycos­is) were admitted to the King George’s Medical University on Wednesday while 200 more amphoteric­in B injections were distribute­d for such patients in private hospitals.

Till now, 250 black fungus patients have been admitted to the KGMU while at least 50 patients were under treatment at different private hospitals. While those at government hospitals were getting amphoteric­in B injections, patients admitted to private hospitals had to purchase these injections from Red Cross Society in Lucknow.

“We operated upon six patients during the past 24 hours,” said Dr Sudhir Singh, spokespers­on, KGMU.

The fresh stock of injections was of a different company than the stock distribute­d earlier by the Red Cross, hence a few attendants called up their doctors before procuring the injections for patients.
