Abstract
During 2016, 93 confirmed cases of measles were reported in three countries of the Region of the Americas, reaching the lowest incidence rate in the history of the Americas (0.093 / 1,000,000 population). However, in that same year, there was a significant decrease in the reporting rate of suspected cases, reaching its lowest point with 1.9 per 100,000 population. Maintaining high reporting rates for suspected cases of measles and rubella will allow timely detection of imported cases.
 
Durante el 2016 se notificaron 93 casos confirmados de sarampión en tres países de la Región de las Américas, alcanzándose la tasa de incidencia regional de casos confirmados de sarampión más baja en la historia de las Américas (0,093/1.000.000 habitantes). Sin embargo, en ese mismo año se registró un drástico descenso en la tasa de notificación de casos sospechosos, alcanzando su punto más bajo con 1,9 por 100.000 habitantes. Mantener altas tasas de notificación de casos sospechosos de sarampión y rubéola permitirá detectar a tiempo cualquier caso importado desde otras regiones del mundo.
