Manual for the Laboratory-based Surveillance of Measles, Rubella, and Congenital Rubella Syndrome

The information provided in this manual, while primarily intended as a resource for those directly responsible for laboratory support, can be valuable for other public health personnel and programme managers. The collection of adequate clinical samples and reliable testing to achieve accurate interpretation of test results are essential for coordination of case investigations among epidemiologists, immunization programme and field staff, and the laboratory.
