Influenza becomes discreet in metropolitan France

Only some cases of influenza were noticed in France in the course of the week from 5 till 11 November, points out the network of the regional Groups of observation of influenza (GROG), on Wednesday, November 14th. GROG signal the circulation of the three types and subcategories of influenza, to know (H1N1) A, A (H3N2) and B. Nevertheless, network cannot again determine if one of them will be predominant this winter.

Nowadays, the clinical activity of seasonal influenza advances in no French region. On the other hand, the epidemic of bronchiolite clamps down in metropolitan France, notably in the north.

The epidemic of influenza continues intensifying in metropolitan France, with consultations in strong increase, but fewer serious cases were hospitalized in the course of last week, according to organisms of loading of the surveillance of this infection.



After six successive weeks of increase, ' infectious activity could continue augmenting this week ', raises the Sentinelles-Inserm network according to its model of prediction.



The Institute of health wakefulness (InVS) notes that last week was marked by a ' important increase of consultations and hospitalizations ', with nevertheless ' a reduction of serious cases accepted in intensive care ', perhaps in touch with a more important circulation of viruses B for three weeks.



The institute raises so a rate of impact of consultations for influenzal syndromes (732 cases for 100.000 inhabitants) ' in strong increase ' for last week, exceeding the peak of the previous two seasons.

Least than 14 years composed 60 % of the 2.365 passages for influenza in emergency and 54 % of hospitalizations last week, according to the hospital network Oscour which represents two - third of all passages to emergency in metropolis.



Influenza was responsible d? about 1.100.000 appeals to the general practitioners and paediatricians last week, to an estimate of the Hot toddy.



These last say that three types of influenzal viruses circulate A (H1N1) pdm09, To (H3N2) and B nowadays.



For his/her part, Sentries network, which takes into account only forms of influenza marked by a fever exceeding 39 degrees and of sudden appearance, accompanied with aches and with respiratory signs, respect according to these criteria, that in six weeks of epidemic 1.270.000 persons would have consulted a doctor.



On the total of the 169 cases of making seize up (among whom 9 vaccinating) accepted in intensive care taken a census since last November, 17 deceases are to deplore at patient's from 3 to 84 years old, points out on Wednesday InVS.



Among these serious cases, 70 % were not vaccinated; for 24 % of them, vaccinal status is not specified.



On the 169 cases, 30 % had no risk factor of complicated influenza (respiratory, cardiac chronic illness, morbid obesity).
