Trends in Overall Activity Over the past week, activity at SOS Médecins clinics increased by 7% (+2,944 visits) and was observed across all age groups. This increase in activity may be linked to the presence of a holiday during the week. Patient numbers are comparable to those in 2012 and 2013.

Trends in Major Conditions: Overall, the most common conditions remained stable or increased across all age groups, in line with the general rise in activity. Among children under 15, ENT conditions were the most common over the past week. There was a more pronounced increase in nasopharyngitis (+20%, or +155 visits) and gastroenteritis (+25%, +140 visits). Among adults, sciatica, urinary tract infections, and gastroenteritis were the most common conditions. There was a 15% increase in consultations for urinary tract infections (+232 visits) and a 14% increase for bronchitis (+101 visits). Among people aged 75 and older, the main conditions that had seen a sharp rise during the first week of August stabilized over the past week. There was an increase in visits for heart conditions (+38 visits) and urinary tract infections (+30 visits).

Changes in Seasonal Indicators With 387 visits over the past week, asthma attacks have increased significantly across all age groups: +42%, or +115 visits across all ages. The numbers are higher than those observed in 2012 and 2013. Visits for allergies are stable, except among adults aged 15–74, where a 13% increase is observed (+51 visits). The numbers are comparable to those from 2013 during this period. Consultations for gastroenteritis are on the rise across all age groups (+11%, or +208 visits) and are particularly noticeable among children under 15 (+24%, or +136 visits). The numbers are higher than those in 2012 and 2013. Other seasonal indicators (heat-related illnesses, general malaise, insect bites) are decreasing across all age groups. Patient numbers are comparable to or even lower than those in 2012 and 2013. Visits for fever alone are stable across all age groups, at levels lower than those in 2012 and 2013.
