The black fungus so called is also by definition a serious but strange fungal infection that is caused by a group of molds called mucomycetes.
Mucormycosis is a fungal infection by opportunistic fungus.
That means that it occurs in people who are weakened, with immune suppression or other problems, it is considered a rare infection, because it only affects people who have weakened immune systems.
Due to diseases such as HIV/ AIDS, to treatments that suppress the immune system such as in people who have been transplanted or some cancer treatments, it also implies a higher risk for people with diabetes.
It is not contagious but if it is a severe and very aggressive infection it must be detected quickly to avoid the death of the patient.
It is known as Black Fungus is not because of the color of the fungus that causes it. If not by the color of the lesions it causes in the body.
You have the following symptoms
Starts in the airways and spreads throughout the body.
Red eyes or red nose, bloody or black runny nose, fever and shortness of breath, local pain in the cheekbone, numbness and swelling of the face, blurred vision with pain, thrombosis and skin necrosis, and vomiting with blood.
It can occur in the skin, lungs, or in the cerebral - rhinoorbital modality (which starts through the nose, spreads to the eyes and into the brain.
During infection, the fungus invades the tissues and causes necrosis, which is why the skin looks black.
More than people end up dying and those who survive receive long treatment with antifungal drugs or in extreme cases surgical cleaning surgeries, are often discapasitant, may lose an eye, foot or hand.
In short, it is a super aggressive infection that no one would want to suffer.

Our defense system is tasked with protecting us from inflammation (infections).
The fungal infections are on the skin, nails and mucous membranes. Someone has red spots on the skin. And if the infection is in the body creas, the skin can flake there. If the infection is in the nails, they may be thicker and have a white color. There may also be dents in it.
Someone with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis may also have an autoimmune disease. Then the immune system attacks its own parts of the body. These include autoimmune diseases against blood cells, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal gland and pancreas.
Sometimes someone gets esophagus or oral cancer.
But in itself, this fungal disease is and cannot be regarded as an autoimmune disease, no matter how bad it is.
