There were 294 infants who met the criteria for CRS.

There is a rising trend in reports of suspected CRS cases in Fiji. This highlights the need to strengthen surveillance for CRS through improvements in clinical and laboratory diagnosis to confirm or exclude suspected cases. It is also important to ensure high coverage of rubella vaccination in Fiji.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/956234","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,4]],"date-time":"2013-02-04T16:04:30Z","timestamp":1359993870000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Congenital Rubella Syndrome in Fiji, 1995\u20132010"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2013","author":[{"given":"Sheetalpreet","family":"Singh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Information Unit, Division of Health Information, Research and Analysis, Ministry of Health, Government Buildings, P.O.
