Why do I need to be screened for immunity to rubella? You need to know if you're immune to rubella because if you came down with this illness during pregnancy, you could have a miscarriage or your baby could end up with multiple birth defects and developmental problems (a condition called congenital rubella syndrome or CRS). So if you weren't screened for rubella immunity before you got pregnant, you'll get this blood test at your first prenatal appointment. The good news is that most adults in the United States are immune to rubella (also called German measles). More important, the infection itself has become quite rare, thanks to childhood vaccinations, so even if you aren't immune, your chances of being exposed to someone with the illness are extremely small. In 2001, there were only 23 reported cases of rubella in people of all ages in the United States and just three reported cases of newborns with congenital rubella syndrome. (Before

(Redirected from German measles Rubella virus Virus classification Group: Group IV (+)ssRNA Family: Togaviridae Genus: Rubivirus Species: Rubella virus Rubella (also known as epidemic roseola German measles or three-day measles ) is a disease caused by the Rubella virus . It is often mild and an attack can pass unnoticed. However, this can make the virus difficult to diagnose. The virus usually enters the body through the nose or throat . The disease can last 1-5 days. Children recover more quickly than adults. Like most viruses living along the respiratory tract, it is passed from person to person by tiny droplets in the air that is breathed out. Rubella can also be transmitted from a mother to her developing baby through the bloodstream via the placenta. The virus has an incubation period of 2 to 3 weeks during which it becomes established. The name German measles has nothing to do with Germany . It comes from the Latin germanus , meaning "similar", since rubella and measles share many symptoms. This did not, however, stop its being renamed Liberty Measles in the

Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Definition: Rubella is a contagious viral infection with mild symptoms associated with a rash. Alternative Names: Three day measles; German measles Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The disease is caused by a virus that is spread through the air or by close contact. It can also be transmitted to a fetus by a mother with an active infection, causing severe disease in the fetus. In children and adults, rubella is usually mild and may even go unnoticed. Children generally have few symptoms, but adults may experience fever, headache, malaise, and a runny nose before the rash appears. A person can transmit the disease from 1 week before the onset of the rash, until 1-2 weeks after the rash disappears. The disease is less contagious than rubeola (measles). Lifelong

German Measles or Rubella What are the symptoms of German measles This viral disease is not as contagious or serious as measles. The incubation period is around 17 to 18 days. It starts like a mild cold with a runny nose, sore throat and a mild temperature. Two days later your child will break out in a rash. Initially, the spots will appear behind the ears and on the forehead before moving down the body. These spots are pale, flat, and more spread out than the ones symptomatic of measles. The rash lasts only for a few days. The glands on the back of the neck will swell up.
Do I need to take this disease seriously The symptoms of this disease are so mild that there is no specific treatment. The best you can do is to make sure that your child is comfortable and keep her amused. While you need not be particularly worried about the health of your child, the greatest danger of this disease is that it could result in foetal damage in a pregnant woman. This disease can be prevented by inoculating your child with the MMR vaccine when she is between 12 to 18 months old. This should confer lifelong immunity from the disease.

OVERVIEW.
The Disease
Rubella is also called German measles or 3-day measles. When children get it, it is usually a mild disease. Rubella also strikes
adults, and outbreaks can occur among teenagers and young adults who have not been immunized. Rubella usually occurs in the winter and spring and spreads very easily. People catch it through contact with other people who
are infected. It is spread through coughing, sneezing, or talking. Usually rubella causes a slight fever which lasts for about 24 hours, and a rash on the face and neck that lasts two or three days.
Young adults who get rubella may get swollen glands in the back of the neck and some pain, swelling, or stiffness in their joints
(arthritis). Most people recover quickly and completely from rubella. However, the greatest danger from rubella is not to
children or adults, but to unborn babies. If a woman gets rubella in the early months of her pregnancy, her chance of giving birth
to a deformed baby may be as high as 80%. These babies may be born deaf or blind. They may have damaged hearts or

What is rubella?
Rubella is an illness caused by a virus. With rubella, your child will have:
  • A rash of widespread pink-red spots that starts on the face and moves rapidly downward, covering the body in 24 hours. Enlarged lymph nodes at the back of the neck. A mild fever.
The rash is not distinctive. Many other viral rashes look like it. Physicians have difficulty being certain of this diagnosis even after examining the child. This diagnosis usually can't be made unless there is an epidemic of it in your community.

Rubella (German Measles) During Pregnancy
What is rubella?
Rubella, also called German measles, is a viral infection that a baby can get from the mother before birth. If you have this infection during pregnancy, it can harm the baby. It might also cause a miscarriage. Rubella is sometimes called the three-day measles. Rubella is most likely to have serious effects on your baby if you are infected during the first 3 months of pregnancy (a 25% risk). However, the baby might also be affected if you have rubella later in the pregnancy (a 1% risk). The baby may develop a group of severe birth defects called rubella syndrome.
How does it occur?

Rubella (German Measles)
Rubella is an infection caused by the rubella virus. It occurs most commonly in young children, but can affect anyone. The illness is usually mild. But, rubella in a pregnant woman can cause serious damage to the unborn child. Immunisation has made rubella uncommon in the UK.
What are the symptoms of rubella? No symptoms may occur when you are infected with rubella. This is called a 'sub-clinical infection'. If symptoms do develop, they include the following.
  • Swollen glands, usually behind the ears and at the back of the neck. Sometimes glands in other parts of the body swell. The glands gradually go back to normal over a week or so.
  • A spotty, pink-red rash develops anytime up to seven days after the glands swell. The rash usually starts on the face, and then spreads to the rest of the body. The rash lasts 1-5 days before fading.
  • A mild fever, cold, cough, and sore throat are common
  • Sore red eyes (conjunctivitis) may develop for a few days.
  • Joint pains, like a mild arthritis, may develop for a week or so. This is uncommon in children, but is quite common in adults with rubella.
Bleeding disorders and brain inflammation (encephalitis) are rare complications.

What is German measles?
German measles (rubella) is an illness caused by a virus. Epidemics tend to break out every three to four years, although the illness is less contagious than measles and chickenpox. While most children have measles in their early childhood, a lot do not get German measles until they are quite a bit older: 10 to 20 per cent of 20 to 25-year-olds have never had the disease. In fact, a lot of people have German measles in such a mild form that it is never diagnosed. Today, only very few children get German measles, as most of them are vaccinated ( MMR vaccine How do you get German measles?
What are the signs of German measles?

  • The patient develops a rash. This typically starts around the ears from where it spreads all over the body in tiny pink spots. The rash changes almost from hour to hour, and will disappear again after about two to three days, requiring no treatment. Before the rash appears, the patient can suffer a light cold and/or swelling in the neck and base of the skull (due to the enlargement of the lymph nodes).

Although the disease itself is a common childhood rash disease, it is often overlooked or misdiagnosed because its signs and symptoms vary. Sometimes symptoms are almost nonexistent. Usually the disease is very mild and is transmitted chiefly through direct contact or droplet contact from nose and throat secretions. By far the most important consequences of rubella are abnormalities in the unborn child that result from rubella infection in early pregnancy, especially in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. As many as 20% of women of childbearing age may be susceptible to rubella. Preventing infection of the unborn child and consequent congenital rubella syndrome is the major object of the rubella immunization program. The live rubella virus vaccine gives long-term, probably life-long protection against rubella. The most frequent side effects of rubella vaccine in adults is some joint aches and occasional joint swelling. This occurs in as many as one in four recipients. Ask about side effects before receiving the vaccine. You should not have a rubella vaccination if you are pregnant, or if you are a person with a history of allergic reactions to certain drugs.

    What is rubella?
    Rubella, also called German measles or 3-day measles, is a disease caused by the rubella virus. Rubella is generally a mild illness that does not result in long-term problems.
    What causes rubella?
    The rubella virus is most often spread through droplets of fluid from the mucous membranes that contain the virus. An infected person can spread these droplets by coughing, sneezing, talking, or sharing food and drinks. You can become infected by touching a surface contaminated with the droplets and then touching your eyes, nose, or mouth before washing your hands. Less commonly, you can get the virus through contact with infected blood if it gets on broken skin or on your hands and you don't wash them immediately.

    Rubella, or German measles, is an infection which causes a pinkish-red rash that first appears on the face and later spreads elsewhere on the body. Other symptoms are a mild temperature and swollen lymph glands. The virus runs its course in about three days. Although rubella is a relatively mild illness, it's very dangerous for a pregnant woman as it can lead to all sorts of problems in her baby, ranging from deafness to encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) and heart defects. Fortunately, at least 75% of women in their childbearing years are immune to the disease, either because they were vaccinated against it as a child or because they have already had the illness. What if I'm not immune? What can I do?
