Seize up, gastro-enteritises


A nail will drive out the other

IN last WEEKEND, the data of the Sentinelles network announced the continuation of the epidemic of gastro-enteritises and the proximity of that of influenza. Confirmed forecasts. With, like new information, the awaited decline of the intestinal virus diseases to the profit of the virus grippal.

During the period of the 8 at January 14, gastro-enteritises pulverized the calculated epidemic threshold with 284 cases for 100.000 inhabitants, by touching 654 French out of 100.000. Such a level of contagion is associated figures raised on all the statistical criteria. 1,1 million people consulted their general practitioner during the first four weeks of the epidemic. On January 7, 17 areas had crossed the epidemic threshold. It was about: North - Pas-de-Calais (1 173 per 100.000); Alsace (840); Corsica (838); Paca (567); Languedoc-Roussillon (556); Basse-Normandie (533); Brittany (525); Franche-Comté (507); High-Normandy (505); The Rhone-Alps (459); Lorraine (441); Auvergne (392); Picardy (387); Aquitaine (335); Island-of-France (312); Burgundy (298); Champagne-Ardenne (287). Affecting the young subject especially, these virus diseases touched, more once on two, of the 26 years subjects or less. The epidemiologists of Inserm-Upmc UMR-S 707 envisage a fall of the epidemic activity as of the next week.

A decrease to which should succeed an epidemic of influenza. Indeed, for the week of which the data are reported, the national incidence arrived just at the epidemic threshold, that is to say 171 cases for 100.000 inhabitants. With the stressing of the tendency awaited for the following week, France is in epidemic situation. The individuals reached are a little older than those carrying the intestinal virus, with 33 years a median age. The infection is of weak gravity, since it justified only 1% of hospitalizations. Four areas crossed for the moment the epidemic threshold: The Limousin (329 cases for 100.000); Languedoc-Roussillon (299); North - Pas-de-Calais (235) and the Rhone-Alps (189).

Association Asthma & Allergies recall to asthmatic that it is still time to be made vaccinate.
