ABSTRACT

Se describe la participación del Laboratorio Nacional de Referencia e Investigaciones en Tuberculosis y Micobacterias del Instituto de Medicina Tropical Pedro Kourí, en la organización del recurso bacteriológico para el diagnóstico y la búsqueda de casos, fundamentalmente en la atención primaria de salud, en apoyo al Programa Nacional de Control de la Tuberculosis. Se hace referencia a las funciones y principales actividades científicas de este Laboratorio Nacional, Centro Colaborador OPS/OMS, como cabecera de los laboratorios de la red de diagnóstico de la tuberculosis en el país. La introducción y aplicación de nuevas tecnologías de avanzada permite contar con valiosas herramientas para dar respuesta a los diferentes retos que plantean la tuberculosis y las micobacteriosis en la actualidad. Con la ejecución de un proyecto del fondo mundial de lucha contra el sida, la tuberculosis y la malaria, se ha fortalecido la red de diagnóstico, lo que debe contribuir, en un futuro cercano, a la eliminación de la tuberculosis como problema de salud en Cuba
