Key Points

Gastroenteritis: Activity at the SOS Médecins clinics in Nîmes and Perpignan has been high for the past three weeks. Emergency room visits are low and lower than during the same period last year.

Bronchiolitis: The outbreak is still active in the Languedoc-Roussillon region, but the number of diagnosed cases is clearly decreasing both in hospitals and in community settings. Nationally, there has also been a clear decrease in emergency room visits for this reason.

Bronchitis: A sharp decrease in visits to the SOS Médecins associations in Nîmes and Perpignan and to emergency departments in the Languedoc-Roussillon region for this reason during week 2016-01.

Asthma: visits to emergency departments continue to decline, and visits to SOS Médecins remain frequent, though the number of patients is not very high.

Pneumonia: Use of emergency departments is decreasing, following a peak in activity during week 2015-53. Just under 60% of people who used emergency departments for this reason were hospitalized after their visit (representing more than 130 hospitalizations for pneumonia).

Influenza: Influenza activity remains low in all French regions and across Europe.
