Extreme precipitation events usually occurred once every 20 years, are more frequent today. Direct contact with flood water, flooded homes and the consumption of water from the public supply system, in addition to the displacement and congregation of the people affected in temporary shelters, are risk factors associated with developing infectious diseases such as gastroenteritis and mycobacterial infections. From June to August 2014, the city of Asunción suffered heavy rainfall events causing one of the most serious floods in the history of the city. The rise of the waters of the Paraguay River was recorded at 7.32 m. and 300,000 people, of whom 180,000 were under 18 years old, were displaced to temporary camps. This report shows the detection of enteric viruses and non-tuberculous mycobacteria in water samples collected from the flooded areas of Asunción and at the Paraguay River bay, as well as the implementation of a standardized methodology for the concentration and detection of these pathogens in water.
