【 摘 要 】

Until 2007, the diagnosis of tuberculosis was only based on smear and culture. Since then multiple diagnostic tests based on molecular technologies have emerged, with the objective of get faster and more sensitive diagnoses, and also to measure the resistance profile of the patients. The World Health Organization has recommended some of these tests for programmatic use. This article describes the methods currently implemented in the Institute of Public Health of Chile and those that are being evaluated and recently recommended by the World Health Organization.
