Semaine 202633 - Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) - Low activity in general practice

Lundi 10 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 (2026w33), the incidence rate of acute respiratory infection (ARI) cases consulting in general practice was estimated at 32 cases per 100,000 population (95% CI [27; 36]) (data sources: Sentinelles and IQVIA (EMR)).
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 2026w32: 32 [28; 36]).

At the regional level, the highest incidence rates were noted in: Bretagne (145 [95; 194]), Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (49 [28; 70]), Bourgogne-Franche-Comté (39 [15; 62]) and Grand Est (39 [24; 54]).

Covid-19: the incidence rate of Covid-19 cases seen in general practice for an ARI was estimated at 2 cases per 100,000 population (95% CI [1; 4]) (data source: Sentinelles).
Subject to future data consolidation, this rate is stable compared to the previous weeks (consolidated data for 2026w32: 1 [0; 2]) and corresponds to a low activity level.

Semaine 202633 - Acute diarrhea - Low activity in general practice

Lundi 10 août 2026

The purpose of acute diarrhea surveillance is to monitor gastroenteritis outbreaks.
 
In mainland France, last week (2026w33), the incidence rate of acute diarrhea cases seen in general practice was estimated at 48 cases per 100,000 population (95% CI [42; 54]). 
Subject to future data consolidation, this rate is stable 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 2026w32: 49 [43; 54]).

At the regional level, the highest incidence rates were noted in: Corse (102 [38; 166]), Grand Est (87 [57; 118]) and Pays de la Loire (84 [31; 138]).

Semaine 202633 - Chickenpox - Low activity in general practice

Lundi 10 août 2026

In mainland France, last week (2026w33), the incidence rate of chickenpox cases seen in general practice was estimated at 4 cases per 100,000 population (95% CI [3; 6]). 
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 2026w32: 5 [3; 7]). There has been an overall decreasing trend in chickenpox activity since the end of June (2026w26), similar to what is usually observed in summer.

At the regional level, the highest incidence rates were noted in: Bretagne (12 [0; 26]), Centre-Val de Loire (11 [0; 24]) and Pays de la Loire (8 [0; 17]).

Data sources: Sentinelles and IQVIA (EMR)
