Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) Covid-19, Influenza and other respiratory viruses   Définition

  Moderate activity in general practice

Previously on sentiweb            

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 (2024w43), the incidence rate of acute respiratory infection (ARI) cases consulting in general practice was estimated at 183 cases per 100,000 population (95% CI [175; 190]) (Data source: Sentinelles and IQVIA (EMR)).
Subject to future data consolidation, this rate is decreasing compared to the previous week (consolidated data for 2024w42: 207 [199; 215]).

At the regional level, the highest incidence rates were noted in: Grand Est (310 [272; 347]), Bretagne (262 [210; 314]) and Nouvelle-Aquitaine (187 [155; 219]). 

Covid-19: the incidence rate of Covid-19 cases seen in general practice for an ARI was estimated at 27 cases per 100,000 population (95% CI [22; 32]) (Data source: Sentinelles).
Subject to future data consolidation, this incidence rate is decreasing compared to the previous week (consolidated data for 2024w42: 42 [37; 47]). The incidence rates were decreasing in the 15-64 and 65 and above age groups, and stable in the 0-14 age group compared to the previous week. 

RSV: the incidence rate of RSV cases seen in general practice for an ARI was estimated at 0 cases per 100,000 population (95% CI [0; 8]) (Data sources: Sentinelles, Rouen and Côte d’Azur Universities, SOS Médecins).
Subject to future data consolidation, this rate is stable compared to the previous week. No active circulation of RSV is observed for now in primary care. This level of activity was lower than the ones observed in the last two seasons at the same time, but similar to previous seasons.

Influenza: the incidence rate of influenza cases seen in general practice for an ARI was estimated at 2 cases per 100,000 population (95% CI [0; 4]) (Data sources: Sentinelles, Rouen and Côte d’Azur DUMG, SOS Médecins). 
Subject to future data consolidation, this rate is stable compared to the previous week. No active circulation of influenza viruses is observed for now in primary care. This level of activity is similar to past seasons at the same time of the year.

Acute diarrhea   Définition

  Low activity in general practice

Previously on sentiweb            

The purpose of acute diarrhea surveillance is to monitor gastroenteritis outbreaks. 

In mainland France, last week (2024w43), the incidence rate of acute diarrhea cases seen in general practice was estimated at 49 cases per 100,000 population (95% CI [45; 54])
Subject to future data consolidation, this rate is slightly decreasing compared to the previous week (consolidated data for 2024w42: 60 [55; 64]) and corresponds to a lower activity level than those usually observed at this time of the year.

At the regional level, the highest incidence rates were noted in: Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (87 [67; 108]), Nouvelle-Aquitaine (71 [52; 89]) and Bretagne (69 [43; 95]).

COVID-19 and Influenza Surveillance : role of the Sentinelles network

In March 2020, following the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), the “Sentinelles surveillance” evolved. The surveillance of  “influenza-like illness” (ILI, defined as sudden onset of fever above 39°C, accompanied by myalgia and respiratory signs) has been replaced by “acute respiratory infections” (ARI, defined as sudden onset of fever or feeling of fever and respiratory signs). This new surveillance enables both the monitoring of the COVID-19 pandemic and epidemics due to other respiratory viruses (influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, rhinovirus and metapneumovirus), based on patients consulting a general practitioner for an ARI. This surveillance is carried out with “Santé publique France” (the national agency for public health), the National Reference Center for respiratory infections (“Institut Pasteur” and “Hospices Civils de Lyon”) and the University of Corsica.

Data from the Sentinelles network are integrated into the overall national COVID-19 surveillance coordinated by “Santé publique France”. For more information, you can consult the weekly COVID-19 and influenza newsletters from “Santé publique France”

At the same time, the Sentinelles network is leading studies and research works on the COVID-19 presented in the “COVID-19” section of this website.
