    Social determinants of health as drivers of fungal disease
    (eClinicalMedicine, 2023-12-01) Jenks, Jeffrey D; Prattes, Juergen; Wurster, Sebastian; Sprute, Rosanne; Seidel, Danila; Oliverio, Matteo; Egger, Matthias; Del Rio, Carlos; Sati, Hatim; Cornely, Oliver A; Thompson, George R; Kontoyiannis, Dimitrios P; Hoenigl, Martin
    Disparities in social determinants of health (SDOH) play a significant role in causing health inequities globally. The physical environment, including housing and workplace environment, can increase the prevalence and spread of fungal infections. A number of professions are associated with increased fungal infection risk and are associated with low pay, which may be linked to crowded and sub-optimal living conditions, exposure to fungal organisms, lack of access to quality health care, and risk for fungal infection. Those involved and displaced from areas of armed conflict have an increased risk of invasive fungal infections. Lastly, a number of fungal plant pathogens already threaten food security, which will become more problematic with global climate change. Taken together, disparities in SDOH are associated with increased risk for contracting fungal infections. More emphasis needs to be placed on systematic approaches to better understand the impact and reducing the health inequities associated with these disparities.
