The purpose of this study is to realize in 2008 a new observational study on populational basis to describe and analyze the evolution of the epidemiology of IE in France, compared to previous studies conducted in 1991 and 1999.
Detailed Description
It is a prospective observational study based on a population of 25 million inhabitants. The cases are recruited over a one year period, from January 1st till December 31st, 2008, in six regions of France (Rhône-Alpes, Paris et Petite Couronne, Lorraine, Franche-Comté, Marne, Languedoc-Roussillon) and in the department of Ille-et-Vilaine.
