Highlights
Allergy-related activity at SOS Médecins locations remains within the usual fluctuations observed at this time of year. In week 33, this portion of activity accounted for 2.8% at SOS Médecins Strasbourg and 1.4% at SOS Médecins Mulhouse.
In week 33, asthma-related activity at the SOS Médecins Strasbourg association remained low, with 7 diagnoses recorded (representing 0.5% of total diagnoses). This activity increased at the SOS Médecins Mulhouse association, with 12 diagnoses recorded in week 33 (compared to 3 in week 32). This increase represents 2.1% of total diagnoses.
According to the National Aerobiological Surveillance Network (RNSA), the allergy risk is low for Urticaceae pollen in the Haut-Rhin department and very low in the Bas-Rhin. This risk is very low for grass pollen in both Alsace departments.
In week 33, the number of weekly diagnoses of heat-related conditions remains low for both SOS Médecins associations. Specifically, 7 diagnoses were recorded for the SOS Médecins Strasbourg association (representing 0.5% of total diagnoses) and 2 diagnoses for the Mulhouse association (representing 0.3% of total diagnoses).
Following excess mortality observed during weeks 27 and 28, the figures observed since week 29 are within expected ranges. These figures are currently being finalized. A comprehensive report on mortality linked to the heatwave that swept across France from June 29 to July 8 will be available by the end of the summer.
