Over the past week in the region:

• The bronchiolitis season has begun in the region, with an increase in visits to the emergency department at Nantes University Hospital for bronchiolitis last week; this trend has been confirmed by activity at SOS Médecins Nantes and Saint-Nazaire over the past two weeks. The virology laboratory at Nantes University Hospital also confirms the start of RSV circulation.

• In other pediatric emergency departments in the region, unlike at the Nantes University Hospital, no significant impact on visits by children under 1 year of age has been noted yet.
