ABSTRACT

The test has being perforomed in diferent fluids pleu-ral, abdominal etc. We made the determination in spinal fluids using simples of 332 patients studied during one year. Some of the patients had a proved infection of tuberculosis because the bactery was identified.
The sensibility of the test was 64% but the treatment might have changed the results. The negativity test descards the disease. However the test rapid and expensive results are reco-mended as diagnostic.
