22. Rubella (German Measles) Rubella infection is also known as german measles or 3day measles. Includes symptoms and signs, treatment, and prevention. http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/skin/german_measles.html

KidsHealth Parents Infections Rubella - commonly known as German measles or 3-day measles - is an infection that primarily affects the skin and lymph nodes. It is caused by the rubella virus ( not the same virus that causes measles), which is usually transmitted by secretions from the nose or throat. It can also pass through a pregnant woman's bloodstream to infect her unborn child. As this is a generally mild disease in children, the primary medical danger of rubella is the infection of pregnant women, which may cause congenital rubella syndrome in developing babies. Before a vaccine against rubella became available in 1969, rubella epidemics occurred every 6 to 9 years. Children ages 5 to 9 were primarily affected, and many cases of congenital rubella occurred as well. Now, due to immunization of younger children and teens, there are fewer cases of congenital rubella. Most rubella infections today appear in young, unimmunized adults rather than children. In fact, experts estimate that 10% of young adults are currently susceptible to rubella, which could pose a danger to any children they might have someday. Signs and Symptoms Rubella infection may begin with 1 or 2 days of mild fever (99 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, or 37.2 to 37.8 degrees Celsius) and swollen, tender lymph nodes, usually in the back of the neck or behind the ears. On the second or third day, a rash appears that begins on the face and spreads downward. As it spreads down the body, it usually clears on the face. This rash is often the first sign of illness that a parent notices.

23. Medinfo: German Measles (Rubella) Easy to understand information for patients on german measles, a mild viral illness caused by the rubella virus. Written by a UK general practitioner. http://www.medinfo.co.uk/conditions/rubella.html

Medical information for patients index search health books site map German Measles (Rubella) German measles is a mild viral illness caused by the rubella virus. It causes a mild feverish illness associated with a rash, and aches in the joints when it affects adults. The major reason for any attention being devoted to the eradication of this condition is the nasty effects that it has on the unborn baby (known as a fetus), when a pregnant woman catches it in early pregnancy. Symptoms Children are not usually affected too badly, and often the first manifestation is the rash. This is a fine, pink rash spreading from the forehead and face downwards. The rash may last for 1 to 5 days. There are often some of the glands (lymph nodes) enlarged, especially behind the ears and on the back of the head. Adults often feel more unwell before the rash appears, and may have pains in the joints rather like arthritis. Possible complications as a result of catching rubella Complications Risk Damage to unborn fetus (multiple defects common) 9 out of 10 pregnancies (in the first 8 to 10 weeks) Damage to unborn fetus 1 in 5 to 10 (between 10 and 16 weeks) After 16 weeks damage is rare Bleeding disorders 1 in 3000 Encephalitis 1 in 6000 Causes The cause is the rubella virus. The incubation period, from exposure to the appearance of the rash, is usually 14 to 21 days.

34. Measles And German Measles The symptoms and signs of both kinds of measles, and how to prevent them. http://www.drreddy.com/shots/measles.html

Dr. Reddy's Pediatric Office on the Web TM Measles and German Measles There are two "forms" of measles: rubeola (the "ordinary" kind), which causes more serious symptoms and can do permanent damage, and rubella ("German" measles), which is very benign if you have it as a child or an adult but can induce severe birth defects in womem infected early in pregnancy. Aside from some similarity in symptoms, there isn't much in common betwen the two viruses. Rubeola ("ordinary" measles) Measles is a disease which usually produces fever cough conjunctivitis ("pink eye", but not quite the same as the "pink eye" seen with colds and earaches), a red, bumpy rash, and a rash ("Koplik's spots") inside the cheeks. It can be complicated by secondary ear infections , diarrhea, croup , and mild pneumonia. In some cases (about 1 out of 1,000) patients with measles develop inflammation of the brain tissue, or "encephalitis". Very rarely, a persistent rubeola infection can produce SSPE, a disease in which nerves and brain tissue degenerate (sometimes many years after the original case of measles); now that we vaccinate most children against measles, SSPE is almost never seen. Before the vaccine came along, measles epidemics occurred about every 2 years, usually in winter and early spring when unimmune children were together in school, and most measles patients were preschoolers and young elementary-school kids. Nowadays most cases are seen in unvaccinated children (kids younger than 15 months who haven't had the vaccine yet, and preschool kids who should have had the vaccine but haven't) and older children some in college who received one dose of vaccine but did
