Abstract

Background: There is a substantial link between disparities or socioeconomic status (SES) and health outcomes in Pakistan and throughout the world, although the processes are not well understood. Inequity in socioeconomic status (SES) has been identified as a risk factor for various infectious illnesses. However, few research have examined the relationship between socioeconomic status and the total infection load. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between socioeconomic status and the total burden of infectious illnesses. We investigated participants' socioeconomic status and the likelihood of colonization or community-acquired illnesses. There is little study on these consequences in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Only a few research on pathogen colonization and infection presented data stratified by participants' socioeconomic status.
