Semaine 202636 - Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) - Low activity in general practice

Lundi 31 août 2026

ARI are caused by a variety of respiratory viruses including SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19), influenza viruses, and other respiratory viruses such as RSV, rhinovirus, and metapneumovirus. The purpose of ARI surveillance is to monitor outbreaks of these viruses.
 
In mainland France, last week (2026w36), the incidence rate of acute respiratory infection (ARI) cases consulting in general practice was estimated at 53 cases per 100,000 population (95% CI [48; 57]) (data sources: Sentinelles and IQVIA (EMR)).
Subject to future data consolidation, this rate is slightly increasing compared to the previous week and corresponds to a similar activity level to those usually observed at this time of the year (consolidated data for 2026w35: 42 [38; 46]).

At the regional level, the highest incidence rates were noted in: Bretagne (137 [101; 172]), Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (80 [59; 101]) and Occitanie (70 [52; 88]). 

Covid-19: the incidence rate of Covid-19 cases seen in general practice for an ARI was estimated at 7 cases per 100,000 population (95% CI [5; 10]) (data source: Sentinelles).
Subject to future data consolidation, this rate has been sligthly increasing for two weeks (consolidated data for 2026w35: 4 [2; 6]) and corresponds to a low activity level.

Semaine 202636 - Acute diarrhea - Low activity in general practice

Lundi 31 août 2026

The purpose of acute diarrhea surveillance is to monitor gastroenteritis outbreaks.
 
In mainland France, last week (2026w36), the incidence rate of acute diarrhea cases seen in general practice was estimated at 44 cases per 100,000 population (95% CI [40; 49]). 
Subject to future data consolidation, this rate is stable compared to the previous week and corresponds to a lower activity level than those usually observed at this time of the year (consolidated data for 2026w35: 45 [41; 49]).

At the regional level, the highest incidence rates were noted in: Nouvelle-Aquitaine (71 [41; 100]), Grand Est (64 [47; 82]) and Bretagne (61 [38; 85]).

Lundi 31 août 2026

 
In mainland France, last week (2026w36), the incidence rate of chickenpox cases seen in general practice was estimated at 2 cases per 100,000 population (95% CI [1; 3]). 
Subject to future data consolidation, this rate is stable compared to the previous week and corresponds to a lower activity level than those usually observed at this time of the year (consolidated data for 2026w35: 3 [2; 4]).

At the regional level, the highest incidence rates were noted in: Occitanie (6 [1; 11]), Corse (5 [0; 17]) and Hauts-de-France (4 [0; 8]).
