Abstract
Background: Patients lacking stable housing face significant medical morbidity, including increased rates of skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs). While outbreaks of invasive group A streptococcal (GAS) disease, such as sepsis and pneumonia, have been reported among persons experiencing homelessness, only a single small study has examined housing status as a risk factor for non-invasive GAS infections, such as SSTIs. Objective: To determine if housing status is an independent risk factor for GAS SSTIs.
