Over the past week in the region:

• The increase in nasopharyngitis and asthma attacks observed in children over the past two weeks has reached a peak slightly higher than in previous years. This increase, which is typical in the weeks following the start of the school year, is linked to the circulation of the rhinovirus.

• Reports of mushroom poisoning recorded by the Angers Poison Control and Toxicovigilance Center indicate 33 cases in the region since early July, including 8 during the past week. One case, presenting with phalloides syndrome, died from the poisoning. The 33 cases reported in the region account for 7% of the 492 cases reported in France during this period.
