Why, Immunologically, Housing‐Related Fungi and Endotoxins (and Other Chronic Pro‐Inflammatory Stressors) Risk Latent Tuberculosis Reactivation, Severe Asthma, and Translocating and Invasive Infections in Indigenous Communities in Canada

22 mucosal barrier protections, severe asthma and translocated, possibly invasive, bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. Individual and community efforts to reduce chronic pro-inflammatory stressors are important, but as the immunological, switch-inducing rationale suggests, unless chronic pro-inflammatory risks associated with housing are mediated, tuberculosis reactivation and other health risks will likely persist.

Abstract

22 mucosal barrier protections, severe asthma and translocated, possibly invasive, bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. Individual and community efforts to reduce chronic pro-inflammatory stressors are important, but as the immunological, switch-inducing rationale suggests, unless chronic pro-inflammatory risks associated with housing are mediated, tuberculosis reactivation and other health risks will likely persist.
