Our study suggests that the future deployment of epidemiological measures such as virological surveillance (obtaining more specimens), timely molecular analysis of viral isolates and their accompanying vaccine strains, and identification of vaccine-mismatched strains would support public health efforts to minimize complications and deaths.
In addition to the collection of high-quality specimens, timely diagnosis of NTM disease requires regular communication of clinical suspicion to the laboratory staff because optimal recover of some fastidious species requires additional tasks.
Difficulties in obtaining a clean urine sample, transportation limitations that can prevent timely arrival of specimens from the clinic to a microbiological facility, and use of shop-bought antibiotics or yaa-chud, which has been reported to contain antibiotics, 13 could inhibit culture growth.
However, in other settings, timely delay between specimen collection and laboratory analysis might be much greater.
Rapid identification of the fungus isolated from clinical specimens allows timely administration of specific treatment.
Without timely subtyping of virus specimens and a PulseNet-like data-sharing system, cluster linkage is unlikely.
Microbial aetiology was identified in a high proportion of patients (72%) admitted to ICU with CAP, reflecting timely collection of appropriate specimens.
Rapid processing of specimens and timely initiation of the phage assay is important: the sensitivity of the phage assay was 72% when the specimens were processed immediately and tests were performed daily [ 5] compared to the sensitivity of 29% when the processing of the specimens was delayed and the assays were run twice a week [ 9].
This has raised people's and clinicians' awareness to the importance of promptness in notifying suspected cases and timely transportation of stool specimens to the National Poliovirus Laboratory in Baghdad, or alternatively having more than one laboratory for poliovirus detection in the country, all of which are very useful measures to increase the surveillance performance in the country.
