Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis continues to be one of the diseases with high morbidity and mortality in our country, which requires the use of feasible methodologies and less time, with this purpose a variety of tests arises, being the molecular tests of greater utility due to its high sensitivity and specificity. Different studies agree that the DNA extraction method affects the efficiency of the amplification that will be obtained as a result, therefore, different techniques have been evaluated that allow the genetic material of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to be easily obtained. Objective: Evaluate the performance of an in-house DNA extraction method for qPCR from smear slides in the diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Lima, 2021. Material and methods: Cross-sectional observational-descriptive study. A total of 67 sheets of BK were collected, corresponding to the years 2019, 2020, 2021 from the Mycobacteria Laboratory of the Center of Excellence (CENEX); independently of the bacillary load state, the isolated DNA was used for the identification of M. tuberculosis by qPCR. Results: The effectiveness of the method was demonstrated by the total amplification of the 67 extractions, of which 86.6% were positive for M. tuberculosis by qPCR. Conclusion: The DNA extraction method evaluated from sputum smears allowed optimal DNA concentrations to be obtained for the detection of M. tuberculosis by qPCR. Key words: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Diagnosis, Microscopic stained slides, qPCR.
