Key Points

• In the Occitanie region, the incidence rate of acute diarrhea cases seen in general practice and visits to emergency care increased in week 14 compared to the previous week (a trend that differed from the national picture, where indicators were generally declining).

• This increase was clear according to data from the SOS Médecins associations (a similar observation across the region’s four associations), whereas the trend observed over the past few weeks had been mostly downward (epidemic activity still considered high).

• For other data sources, this upward trend in indicators has already been observed for several weeks in our region.

• Regarding emergency care visits, the increase in indicators is particularly noticeable among children, especially the youngest (under 5 years old).
