ABSTRACT
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that in Chile is far from eradicated. To ask what improvements we could make, we must recognize from our experience at San Juan de Dios Hospital, the major mistakes which many of us do, both in the diagnosis and management of the disease. Possibly the most important, common and serious mistake, is to believe that tuberculosis is eradicated, because if we believe it does no longer exists, then we do not seek it, and leave undiagnosed infectious cases, keeping the reservoirs of the disease.
RESUMEN
La tuberculosis es una enfermedad infecciosa que en Chile está lejos de ser eliminada. Para plantear qué mejoras podríamos realizar para su control es necesario conocer los principales errores que según nuestra experiencia, en el Hospital San Juan de Dios, muchos de nosotros cometemos, tanto en el diagnóstico como en el manejo de la enfermedad. El más común y grave, posiblemente sea el de creer que la tuberculosis está erradicada, porque si creemos que ya no existe, no la buscaremos y dejaremos casos sin diagnosticar, manteniendo los reservorios que trasmiten la enfermedad.
