Surveillance:
Rubella surveillance should be integrated with measles surveillance. The purpose of rubella surveillance is to detect circulation of rubella virus, not to detect every case of rubella. A separate rubella surveillance system is not needed. All sera from suspected rubella cases which test negative for rubella IgM antibodies should be tested for measles IgM antibodies and vice versa.

Rationale for Surveillance
Introduction:
Rubella virus continues to circulate freely in most countries of the region. After a complete investigation, many suspected measles cases are ultimately found to be rubella. Moreover, cases of the Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS) have been found in all countries of the Region that have established CRS surveillance systems. This suggests that CRS is a major public health problem in all countries of the Americas.
