RESUMO
Due to the successful implementation of measles and rubella elimination strategies, Mexico announced the interruption of endemic transmission of measles in 1996 and that of rubella in 2008. After a verification process, the region of the Americas was declared free of rubella and congenital rubella syndrome in 2015 and of measles in 2016. In order to maintain the elimination status in Mexico, it is essential to continue laboratory surveillance within the framework of the Global Measles and Rubella Laboratory Network. The Institute of Epidemiological Diagnosis and Reference, through the National Network of Public Health Laboratories, guarantees timely and reliable results in view of the possible reintroduction of these and other emerging pathogens.
Debido a la implementación exitosa de las estrategias de eliminación del sarampión y la rubéola, México enunció la interrupción de la transmisión endémica del sarampión en 1996 y de la rubéola en 2008. Después de un proceso de verificación, la región de las Américas fue declarada libre de rubéola y del síndrome de rubéola congénita en 2015 y del sarampión en 2016. Para mantener el estatus de eliminación en México es esencial continuar con la vigilancia por laboratorio en el marco de la Red Mundial de Laboratorios de Sarampión y Rubéola. El Instituto de Diagnóstico y Referencia Epidemiológicos, a través de la Red Nacional de Laboratorios de Salud Pública, garantiza resultados oportunos y confiables ante la posible reintroducción de estos y otros patógenos emergentes.
