RESUMO
The External Quality Control Program of the Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (SEIMC) include controls for bacteriology, serology, mycology, parasitology, mycobacteria, virology, molecular microbiology and HIV-1, HCV and HBV viral loads. This manuscript presents the analysis of results obtained of the participants from the 2013 SEIMC External Quality Control Programme, except viral loads controls, that they are summarized in a manuscript abroad. As a whole, the results obtained in 2013 confirm the excellent skill and good technical standards found in previous editions. However, erroneous results can be obtained in any laboratory and in clinically relevant determinations. Once again, the results of this program highlighted the need to implement both internal and external controls in order to assure the maximal quality of the microbiological tests.

El Programa de Control Externo de Calidad de la Sociedad Española de Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica (SEIMC) incluye las áreas de bacteriología, serología, micología, parasitología, micobacterias, virología y microbiología molecular. En este manuscrito se presenta el análisis de los resultados enviados por los participantes en los controles remitidos durante el año 2010. Los resultados obtenidos confirman de nuevo la buena capacitación general de los laboratorios españoles de microbiología clínica de años anteriores. A pesar de ello, el programa muestra que es posible obtener un resultado erróneo, incluso en determinaciones de gran trascendencia y en cualquier laboratorio. Resaltamos la importancia de complementar el control interno que cada laboratorio lleva a cabo con estudios de intercomparación externos, como los que ofrece el Programa SEIMC (AU)

The External Quality Control Program of the Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (SEIMC) includes controls for bacteriology, serology, mycology, parasitology, mycobacteria, virology and molecular microbiology. In this article, the most important conclusions and lessons from the 2009 controls are presented. As a whole, the results obtained in 2009 confirm the excellent skill and good technical standards found in previous editions. However, erroneous results can be obtained in any laboratory and in clinically relevant determinations. The results of this program highlight the need to implement both internal and external controls in order to ensure maximal quality of microbiological tests.
