Surveillance of Gastroenteritis in Réunion. Epidemiological Update as of August 31, 2017.

Epidemiological Situation

Every year, an increase in cases of gastroenteritis is observed in Mayotte between June and September. In this context, several indicators are routinely collected and analyzed:

  • the number of consultations for acute diarrhea reported by physicians in the Mayotte sentinel network,

  • the number of visits for gastroenteritis recorded at the emergency department of the Mayotte Hospital Center (CHM),

Since the beginning of July, an overall increase in these indicators has been observed on the island. Over the past two weeks, the incidence of gastroenteritis reported by sentinel physicians and emergency departments has remained high: the outbreak continues in Mayotte.
