SOS Médecins National Newsletter, September 6, 2011 

This week, the indicators are changing. Monitoring of heat-related illnesses, fainting spells, fevers, and allergies is being replaced by monitoring of respiratory illnesses in infants, gastroenteritis, asthma, and flu-like symptoms.

A new association is submitting its data as part of the SOS Médecins/InVS surveillance network: SOS Tours. It will be included in the bulletin after three months of data submission (following an assessment of data quality).

Over the past week, the total volume of activity among SOS Médecins associations has remained stable compared to the previous week. However, it increased by 20% among children aged 2 to 14 in the Centre/Ile-de-France region (primarily for viral syndromes and ENT conditions).

SOS Médecins activity related to asthma is stable. The "gastroenteritis" indicator is also stable, with calls for gastrointestinal syndromes accounting for approximately 14% of call reasons.Diagnoses of bronchiolitis in children under 2 years of age remain at a low level. However, an increase in calls for respiratory conditions in this same age group has been observed in recent days; this indicator accounts for approximately 30% of call reasons among children under 2 years of age (a level similar to that observed in June).SOS Médecins activity related to the flu remains stable. It accounts for 20% of call reasons (flu-like symptoms) but only 0.25% of diagnoses (representing between 5 and 14 cases per day nationwide).

The number of deaths certified by SOS Médecins has been declining over the past few days.
