Abstract
La Región de las Américas adoptó la meta de interrumpir la transmisión endémica del sarampión y de la rubéola para los años 2000 y 2010, respectivamente. Gracias a la implementación exitosa de las estrategias de eliminación del sarampión y de la rubéola, los países interrumpieron la transmisión endémica del sarampión en el 2002 y la de la rubéola en el 2009. Después de un proceso de verificación, la Región de las Américas fue declarada libre de rubéola endémica y del síndrome de rubéola congénita (SRC) en el 2015 y libre de sarampión en el 2016. Para mantener la eliminación del sarampión y de la rubéola en la Región, es esencial continuar con una vigilancia de laboratorio que siga las recomendaciones establecidas en el marco de la Red Regional de Laboratorios de Sarampión y Rubéola (RRLSR) de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS) y garantizar que todos los laboratorios nacionales que participan en la Red Mundial de Laboratorios de Sarampión y Rubéola (RMLSR) de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) y en la RRLSR proporcionen resultados precisos y de calidad.
 
The countries of the Region of the Americas established the goal of interrupting endemic measles transmission by the year 2000 and rubella transmission by 2010. Due to the successful implementation of measles and rubella vaccination strategies, the countries interrupted endemic transmission of measles in 2002 and rubella in 2009. After a process of verification, the Americas were declared free of endemic rubella and congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) in 2015, and free of measles on 2016. To maintain the elimination of measles and rubella in the Region, it is essential for laboratory surveillance to follow the recommendations established within PAHO’s Regional Measles and Rubella Laboratory Network (RMRLN) and to ensure that accurate and reliable results are provided by all national laboratories participating in the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Measles and Rubella Laboratory Network (GMRLN) and in RMRLN.
