Key Points

Acute Respiratory Infections

• In Week 11, activity related to acute respiratory infections across all age groups continued to decline in primary care and hospitals. A significant portion of ARI activity was still linked to consultations for influenza viruses, although this proportion was lower than in previous weeks (50% at SOS Médecins and 17% in emergency departments).

Influenza and influenza-like illness

• In Week 11, the Occitanie region entered its second week of the post-epidemic phase following 12 weeks of the epidemic. Indicators were declining in both community settings and hospitals and remained stable in long-term care facilities.

Gastroenteritis and acute diarrhea

• In the Occitanie region, SOS Médecins visits for a diagnosis of gastroenteritis were decreasing in week 11 compared to the previous week but remained at a high level. The trend therefore continues to rise for indicators from this data source.

• The incidence rate of acute diarrhea cases seen in general practice and emergency department visits has also been on an upward trend over the past few weeks.
