Appendix B - Measles Surveillance: Guidelines for Laboratory Support
MEASLES CASE LABORATORY INVESTIGATION DECISION TREE
Considerations
- Laboratory confirmation of measles assumes the absence of recent measles
vaccination.
- All suspected measles cases must test negative for parvovirus B19
and rubella virus.
- Interpretation of laboratory results must always consider the timing
of specimen collection.
- The final decision for determination of a true measles case must consider
clinical, laboratory, and epidemiologic data.
