Key Points

• In Week 50 (December 11–17, 2023), activity at SOS Médecins clinics remained stable across all age groups compared to the previous week.

• The increase in cases of influenza/influenza-like illness continued at a consistent rate across all age groups, though at a less pronounced rate than in Week 49 (+11% across all ages, or +784 cases, vs. +25% in Week 49, or +1,397 cases).

• After an upward trend observed since Week 37 for pneumonia-related cases, Week 50 shows a stabilizing trend among both adults and children (for the second consecutive week). Among children, however, the observed level remains very high compared to the previous two years.

• Among children under 2 years of age, cases of bronchiolitis are down for the second consecutive week (-16%, or -135 cases in Week 50 vs. -15%, or -153 cases in Week 49).

• Among other indicators, there was an increase in procedures for gastroenteritis among adults (+8%, or +253 procedures) and among children (+9%, or +204 procedures), as well as for vomiting among those aged 75 and older (+59%, or +23 procedures). There was also an increase in procedures for conjunctivitis among children under 2 years of age (+29%, or +107 procedures) and for anxiety among those aged 45–64 (+20%, or +36 procedures). These indicators, however, remain at levels comparable to those of previous years.
