The babies are, lately, numerous to cross the door of the emergency room. In the pediatric emergencies of Reims (Marne), the bronchiolitis epidemic mobilizes a good part of the teams. All regions of France are affected. Last week, 4,100 children under two went through the emergency room for this reason. Among them, 35% had to be hospitalized.
At the same time, cases of influenza and gastroenteritis are increasing, with a good month in advance. “The containment due to Covid means that children have been protected for more than a year and a half, and that now they more easily catch a number of viruses”, explains Dr. Beatrice Digeon, head of the pediatric emergency department at the Reims University Hospital (Marne). The younger the babies, the greater the risks.
