Chile was the first country in the Americas to conduct surveillance for congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) as part of screening for common causes of congenital birth defects (referred to as TORCH pathogens). The surveillance system identified 15 CRS cases in 1999 and 2 cases in 2000, and it has identified no CRS cases since 2000. CRS surveillance in Chile meets recommended surveillance standards and may serve as a model for CRS surveillance in other countries.
智利是美洲第一个开展先天性风疹综合征(CRS)监测的国家,作为常见先天性出生缺陷(称为 TORCH 病原体)筛查的一部分。该监测系统于 1999 年发现了 15 例 CRS 病例,2000 年发现了 2 例,自 2000 年以来未发现 CRS 病例。智利的 CRS 监测符合建议的监测标准,可作为其他国家 CRS 监测的范例。
