Epidemiological surveillance in the Alsace region. Update as of August 28, 2014.

Highlights

  • In week 33, a significant increase in activity at SOS Mulhouse was observed. This is likely due to the long weekend of August 15 and the closure of private medical practices. The phenomenon appears to have had less of an impact on the activity of the SOS Médecins Strasbourg association.

  • In week 34, allergy-related activity was low for both SOS Médecins associations in the region.

  • According to the National Aerobiological Surveillance Network (RNSA), grass and nettle pollen are present in Alsace, but the allergy risk is low or nonexistent.

  • Regarding asthma, an upward trend was observed in week 34 for the SOS Médecins Strasbourg association. Conversely, for SOS Médecins Mulhouse, following a slight increase in week 33, asthma-related activity decreased in week 34.

  • Over the past two weeks, activity related to heat-related illnesses has been low to nonexistent.
