Over the past week in the region:

• Reports of enterovirus meningitis began at Nantes University Hospital during the first week of June.

• High numbers of allergy diagnoses and asthma attacks reported by SOS Médecins last week. These increases are consistent with high pollen production at this time of year, particularly from grasses.

• Information on pollen risks is available on the following websites: - Sentinel Pollinariums (Nantes and Laval): http://www.airpl.org/pollens/pollinariums_sentinelles_et_alertes_pollens- National Aerobiological Surveillance Network (RNSA): http://www.pollens.fr/docs/vigilance.html
