Pertussis

• Activity remains stable in emergency departments and SOS Médecins clinics.

Asthma related to the start of the school year

• One month after the start of the school year, activity in emergency departments and at SOS Médecins for childhood asthma has declined to levels comparable to previous years. The peak was reached in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (PACA) region in week 38 for OSCOUR and SOS Médecins. The trend in indicators in the PACA region is comparable to that observed at the national level (see news). Santé publique France continues its syndromic surveillance and monitoring activities, but the reporting of indicators in the bulletin ends this week.
