    Document: The main advantages of molecular techniques are its higher sensitivity and specificity compared with other diagnostic methods such as serological assays and culture methods, as well as its rapidity and possibility of automation. From an epidemiological and clinical point of view, these features are very important for the diagnosis of some diseases such as CNS infections, in which the detection of microorganisms should be faster in order to treat rapidly the patients and isolate them to prevent viral transmission of disease. Among this fact, the automation also permits the performance of much more assays and its rapidity helping to improve the patient diagnosis.
