Use of steroids and avascular necrosis

It should be noted that the only common factor between mucorte and avascular necrosis is the use of steroids, the only proven medicine to help covidant patients. Avascular necrosis is a disease where blood supply to the bone is temporarily disrupted or permanently.

According to reports, three young patients in Hinduja Hospital, Mumbai developed avascular necrosis two months after being treated for coronavirus infection. These patients have developed pain in their femmeur bone and quickly received a diagnosis of avascular necrosis.

Medical experts firmly believe that the use of steroids among covidant patients could be the main reason for triggering avascular necrosis between coronavirus survivors. If a person who found himself from Covid develops the pain of the hip or thigh, a confirmation MRI should be made to diagnose avascular necrosis.

Kerala continues to be the focus of coronavirus infections in India, as the state attends a regular test rate (TPR) greater than 10%.

In the meantime, the country’s medical experts firmly believe that a third wave of the Covid pandemic could soon hit the country.
