Over the past week in the region:

• Decrease in SOS Médecins consultations and emergency room visits for asthma attacks among children aged 2 to 15. Significant concurrent decline in rhinovirus circulation reported by the Nantes University Hospital laboratory.

• A slight increase in emergency room visits at the Nantes University Hospital and SOS Médecins calls for bronchiolitis in children under 2 years of age, though these remain below alert thresholds. Rare isolates of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The All Saints’ Day holidays mark a transitional period, following which the circulation of RSV—the virus responsible for seasonal bronchiolitis epidemics—will increase. The epidemic threshold is typically crossed starting in mid-November.
