Key Points

• In Week 09 (February 26–March 3, 2024), activity at SOS Médecins clinics continued to decline among those under 15 years of age (-11%, or 3,433 fewer visits) and remained stable among those over 15 years of age (-2%).

• This decline in activity is primarily driven by a decrease in cases of influenza/flu-like illness among those under 15 (-42%, or -954 cases) and among those over 15 (-27%, or -1,605 cases). Other seasonal respiratory indicators are stable and either higher (acute bronchitis, pneumonia) or comparable to previous years (suspected COVID-19 infection, upper respiratory tract conditions, bronchiolitis).

• Among the other monitored indicators showing notable variation, there was an increase in asthma among children under 2 years of age (+20%, or +17 cases) and a decrease in trauma among children under 15 years of age (-20%).
