EVALUACIÓN DE LA SENSIBILIDAD Y ESPECIFICIDAD DE DOS MÉTODOS DE BACILOSCOPIA by Flores Aréchiga, Amador, Llaca Díaz, Jorge M., Ramos Peña, Esteban G.

“…El 58% fueron del género masculino, 42%femenino; promedio de edad fue de 49 años (rango 11 a 103), 76% tuvo el cultivonegativo, 23% positivo para Mycobacterium tuberculosis, 1% para Mycobacteriumchelonae. La BACEX observada por microscopistas inexpertos tuvo una sensibilidad del45% (IC95 0.25, 0.65) y especificidad del 93% (IC950.88, 0.98), para la BCRED lasensibilidad fue del 54% (IC95 0.43, 0.65) y especificidad del 93% (IC95 0.88, 0.98); LaBACEX y la BACRED observada por el microscopista medianamente experto, lasensibilidad fue del 75% (IC95 0.58, 0.92) y especificidad del 98% (IC95 0.95, 1.00);para el experto, la sensibilidad fue del 79% (IC95 0.63, 0.95) y especificidad del 100%.No se encontró diferencia significativa entre la sensibilidad y especificidad de ambosmétodos, la experiencia fue un factor determinante que influyó en el valor diagnósticode la baciloscopia, todo laboratorio que realice baciloscopias deberá establecercontroles de calidad interno y externo, los microscopistas inexpertos deberán recibirentrenamiento.AbstractThe direct microscopic exam is the most useful tool in the diagnosis, control andtreatment of the tuberculosis, mainly in countries in development. …”
