Abstract

Purpose of review: To discuss recent findings on the global burden of respiratory tract infections in underprivileged populations, highlighting the critical role of socioeconomic factors in the incidence and severity of these diseases, with a particular focus on health disparities affecting Indigenous communities.

Recent findings: Pulmonary tuberculosis and lower respiratory tract infections, particularly those caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), continue to disproportionally impact populations in low-income countries and Indigenous communities worldwide. Indigenous children <5 years old bear the highest global burden of RSV infection, reflecting persistent social inequalities between Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations. Repeated episodes of acute pneumonia during childhood significantly contribute to the high prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases among Indigenous populations. The widespread occurrence of bronchiectasis in these communities is closely linked to adverse socioeconomic conditions.

Summary: Significant disparities in the incidence and severity of lower respiratory tract infections between affluent and impoverished populations are driven by socioeconomic inequalities. Vaccinating vulnerable population groups with newly developed vaccines has the potential to prevent infections caused by pathogens such as S. pneumoniae and RSV. However, global access to these vaccines and monoclonal antibodies remains limited due to their high costs.

综述的目的:讨论关于全球贫困人口呼吸道感染负担的最新研究结果,强调社会经济因素在这些疾病的发病率和严重程度中的关键作用,尤其关注影响土著社区的健康差异:肺结核和下呼吸道感染,尤其是由肺炎链球菌和呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)引起的感染,继续对全世界低收入国家的人口和土著社区造成严重影响。原住民儿童 摘要:社会经济不平等导致富裕人口和贫困人口在下呼吸道感染的发病率和严重程度上存在巨大差异。为弱势群体接种新开发的疫苗有可能预防肺炎链球菌和 RSV 等病原体引起的感染。然而,由于成本高昂,全球获得这些疫苗和单克隆抗体的机会仍然有限。
