Close on the heels of the black fungus infection that appeared in patients who had recovered from Covid-19, Indian doctors are seeing another serious coronavirus-related complication -cytomegalovirus infections (CMV), which are normally present in post-transplant patients or those whose immune systems have been weakened by cancer or Aids.
Seven cases have been detected in Mumbai, where former Covid-19 patients between the ages of 30 and 70 returned to hospital with symptoms of CMV pneumonia, which causes inflammation and fluid build-up in the lungs.
In New Delhi, all five CMV cases at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital involved severe gastrointestinal bleeding or intestinal obstruction. Three of them had massive bleeding, one requiring emergency life-saving surgery in the form of the removal of the right side of the colon, while one of them succumbed, the hospital said in a statement.
