Conclusion
The impact of this study in Paraguay:
• We standarized a new test for laboratory surveillance of
respiratory pathogens in the largest Public Health Children
Hospital.
• The introduction of the Pneumococcal vaccine, PCV10
(Sinflorix), was in March 2012 and the implication of this study
results prior and post this vaccine introduction.
• It was described for the first time the circulation of non-common
respiratory viruses either alone or in co-infections with other
respiratory viruses such as CoVs, BoV, hMPV and EV.
• There is a demand of the Pediatricians Society to increase the
number of samples
• We aware about 71% severe bronchiolitis cases with
viral/bacterial pathogens detected. Could be considered as
increased risk for bacterial pneumonia.
Conclusion
• Interpreting co-pathogen data is problematic
due to the difficulty in differentiating acute
disease from long-term shedding.
• We need a biomarker for clinicians to answer
in less than 24 hours: VIRUS or BACTERIA?

Quality initiative
• Expected outcomes
o An assessment of the 4 selected laboratories and identification of
necessary improvements
o An action plan to assist laboratories in meeting international quality
standards
o A “self-assessment” questionnaire for all GABRIEL members
 Developed with Fiocruz, Brazil
 Gathering information on their current Quality Assurance Management
