Abstract	espanolObjetivo: Evaluar la utilidad clinica de la reaccion en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR) basada en la literatura y nuestra experiencia, en el diagnostico etiologico de las uveitis infecciosas y en uveitis idiopaticas. Metodos: Se realizo una revision sistematica de la literatura medica disponible. Resultados: Las tecnicas moleculares sirven para confirmar el diagnostico mediante la presencia de material genetico del microorganismo (RNA o DNA amplificado por PCR) en las uveitis. Conclusiones: En los ultimos anos, varios agentes infecciosos han sido implicados en la etiologia de la uveitis. Ademas de los casos de endoftalmitis endogena y postquirurgica, esta incrementando la deteccion de patogenos. Siendo la PCR una tecnica muy sensible y especifica que puede confirmar el diagnostico en menos de 24 horas con el fin de iniciar el tratamiento adecuado. EnglishObjective: To assess the clinical usefulness of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), based on literature and on our experience, for etiologic diagnosis of infectious uveitis and idiopatic uveitis. Methods: Systematic review of the available medical literature. Results: Molecular techniques are used to confirm the diagnosis of uveitis by means of the presence of genetic material of the organism (RNA or DNA amplified by PCR). Conclusions: In the last years, several infectious agents have been implicated in the etiology of uveitis. Apart from the cases of endogenous and postsurgical endophthalmitis, the detection of pathogenes is increasing. PCR is a sensitive and specific technique that can confirm the diagnosis in less than 24 hours and start the appropriate treatment.
