One of the major preventative measures developed against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was vaccines. To monitor their use and safety of vaccines from the first utilization in humans during clinical development phases to implementation for the general population, an enhanced national pharmacovigilance system was enabled by the French National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety in collaboration with the 30 Regional Pharmacovigilance Centres. Here, we review the significant outcomes from a 2-year collaboration experience between the French National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety, the 30 Regional Pharmacovigilance Centres, disease-related experts and the pharmacovigilance and risk assessment committee at the European medicine agency. In France, until January 2023, over 155 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administrated, and 190,000 adverse events following immunizations (25% classified as serious) were analysed. Altogether 53 potential safety signals were reported to the Pharmacovigilance and Risk Assessment Committee at the European Medicine Agency by the French National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety: 13 were confirmed, 24 are still under investigation and 16 were not confirmed. The enhanced national PV system contributed actively better to define the safety profile of the newly developed vaccines, and the French National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety continues to monitor the benefit and risks of the COVID-19 vaccines.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23147,"journal":{"name":"Therapie","volume":"80 4","pages":"Pages 429-437"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142786791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Une nouvelle expertise présentée à l’Agence du médicament en 2024 a colligé en 4,5 ans, 216 cas d’infections bactériennes graves (162 avec ibuprofène, 54 avec kétoprofène) après la prise d’AINS pour fièvre ou douleur aiguë, soit environ 21 % des effets indésirables graves avec l’ibuprofène (8 % pour le kétoprofène). Les infections streptococciques étaient majoritaires pour l’ibuprofène (62 % des cas d’infection bactérienne graves ; 44 % pour le kétoprofène). Ces infections streptococciques étaient invasives (97 %), à type de sepsis sévère/choc toxinique, de pleuropneumopathie, de méningite/méningoencéphalite et de dermohypodermite nécrosante. Les études de pharmaco-épidémiologie suggèrent toute une association entre l’exposition à un AINS et une augmentation du risque de complications pleuropulmonaires avec une estimation du risque compris entre 1,8 et 8. Plusieurs données mécanistiques sont également en faveur d’un effet délétère spécifique sur la gravité des infections invasives streptococciques, par un effet propre, intrinsèque des AINS sur l’amplification de la diffusion des streptocoques (via la vimentine). Des études expérimentales, chez l’animal, démontrent également ce risque, même quand l’AINS est associé à un antibiotique. En conclusion, en présence d’une infection streptococcique, qu’elle soit diagnostiquée ou non, la prise d’un AINS pour fièvre ou douleur aiguë, même sur une courte durée, et même associée à un antibiotique est une pratique à risque. Elle favorise l’évolution vers une infection streptococcique plus grave, non seulement en retardant la prise en charge de l’infection, mais surtout en favorisant la dissémination du streptocoque. Dans la mesure où les infections invasives à <em>Streptococcus pyogenes</em> sont un réel problème de santé publique, tout facteur de risque potentiel d’aggravation doit être pris en compte.</div></div><div><div>For several years, regional pharmacovigilance centers have been warning about the risk of worsening bacterial skin or lung infections caused by <em>Streptococcus pyogenes</em> or <em>Pneumococcus</em> after taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), particularly ibuprofen.
