ABSTRACT

In this work we discuss several current topics about tuberculosis and analyze the isolation results in the samples provided by the epidemiology department and processed at the genomic medicine laboratory of The Regional Hospital 1°de Octubre, in order to confirm the diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. The samples were collected from December 2012 to August 2013. A total of 89 samples were analyzed, identification was performed in 24 samples, (22 positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and 2 positive for Mycobacterium abscessus). According to the sample source, we classify tuberculosis as pulmonary (54.4%) or extrapulmonary, including 2 cases of tuberculous meningoencephalitis in children.
