Patients can infect other people from one week before the onset of rash until four days afterwards. Maternal rubella infection in the first eight to ten weeks of pregnancy results in foetal damage in up to 90% of infants. Multiple defects are common, and are collectively known as Congenital Rubella Syndrome. A vaccine against rubella exists and is given as part of the triple MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine.

The name likely comes from the Latin term "germanus" meaning "similar." And indeed, rubella and measles (rubeola) share some characteristics, but they're caused by different viruses. Rubella and measles are both contagious viral infections best known by the distinctive red rash that may appear on the skin of those who contract either illness. However, rubella is neither as infectious nor usually as severe as measles, which is why rubella is also called three-day measles. There is one important exception: If a pregnant woman contracts rubella, especially during her first trimester, the virus can cause death or serious birth defects in the developing fetus.

RUBELLA DESCRIPTION: Maternal rubella (German measles) in the first trimester of pregnancy is generally responsible for a triad of defects in the fetus: heart defects, hearing problems and eye problems; mental retardation also often accompanies these defects. Ocular involvement is typically cataracts (bilateral in 75% of the cases) but also may include uveal colobomas, searching nystagmus, microphthalmus, strabismus, retinopathy, and infantile glaucoma. TREATMENT: Cataract surgery is usually delayed until at least age 2, since the live rubella virus remains in ocular tissues for many months after birth. Unfortunately, this preferred delay also results in a poor prognosis for visual functioning following cataract removal. Monitoring of ocular status (for complications) is recommended. Educational adjustments will vary, according to functional vision. Optical aids and/or illumination levels should be according to individual needs. Glare may be a factor. IMPLICATIONS: Some physicians are recommending therapeutic abortion in cases of maternal rubella, since the probability of serious congenital anomalies is so high.

Rubella (German measles) in pregnancy What is rubella? How is rubella spread? What about pregnant women and rubella? What can you do? ... How safe is the MMR vaccine? What is rubella? It is also called German measles. Like red measles, rubella is caused by a virus. A virus is a kind of germ that can make people sick. It is milder than red measles. Children get a low fever and a mild cold. A rash may follow. Glands in the neck may swell up. The sickness lasts about 3 days. How is rubella spread? It is spread by close contact between people. Sneezing and coughing can spread the disease. What about pregnant women and rubella? A pregnant woman who catches rubella during the first 5 months of pregnancy can pass the disease on to her baby (or fetus) while it is in the womb. The chances of this happening are very high. In 8 out of 10 cases where a pregnant woman has rubella, the fetus will get rubella before it is born. If the fetus gets rubella during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, it will be born with many problems. It may be blind, deaf or have heart damage. If the fetus gets rubella between 16 and 20 weeks of pregnancy, it will be born deaf.

Site map Search: Home Viral Rubella What is rubella? Rubella, also known as German measles is a viral disease characterised by rash, swollen glands and fever. The disease is usually mild and of little significance unless you are pregnant. Infection of a pregnant woman (congenital rubella syndrome) commonly results in miscarriage, stillbirth, or birth of an infant with major birth abnormalities. How common is rubella? Rubella is now rarely seen in countries where rubella vaccination is part of their routine immunisation programme. In countries that do not have immunisation programmes in place, rubella continues to be a mild childhood illness that may even pass un-noticed. The major burden is congenital rubella syndrome and its devastating effects to the unborn foetus. How is rubella spread? Rubella is spread from person to person through direct contact with nasal or throat secretions of infected individuals. An infected person is contagious from 7 days prior to the rash appearing until 7 days later. Patients are most contagious when the rash is erupting. Children and adults with rubella should avoid attending childcare facilities, school, work or other public places during their infectious period. An acute infection of rubella almost always confers lifelong immunity. What are the signs and symptoms of rubella?

Program Transcript An entirely preventable disease - talking about vaccines - still occurs in newborn babies in Australia, because some people haven't completed their immunisation schedule before they reach childbearing age. The disease is congenital rubella - babies who've become infected with german measles in the womb. Toby Murcott investigated for The Health Report and visited Patrick and Sheila Ellis, who migrated to Melbourne from Britain over 30 years ago. Soon after they arrived, Sheila became pregnant and probably was infected with rubella after cuddling a friend's feverish child. As Patrick tells it, their new baby Mandy seemed to be normal, apart from being a little underweight.

Conditions Rubella Also Listed As: What Causes It? Who's Most At Risk? Signs and Symptoms What to Expect at Your Provider's Office ... Supporting Research Rubella, also known as German measles or three-day measles, is an acute viral infection. Before a rubella vaccine became available in 1969, there were outbreaks of the disease every six to nine years. Now rubella is rare in locations where vaccination is standard practice. In the United States, for example, there were only between 128 and 192 cases reported annually throughout the 1990s and 4 to 11 cases per year of congenital rubella syndrome, a syndrome that may occur in a fetus and which is linked with serious birth defects and developmental delay. What Causes It? A virus causes rubella. It can be spread in airborne droplets, such as from a cough or sneeze, from an infected person. Individuals can be contagious for as much as one week before a rash erupts and up to one week after it disappears. Infants with congenital rubella syndrome (see section entitled Special Considerations for explanation) may spread rubella virus in respiratory secretions and urine for up to two years.

Z Congenital rubella Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Definition: Congenital rubella is a group of physical abnormalities that occur in an infant as a result of infection of the mother with rubella virus. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Congenital rubella is caused by the destructive action of the rubella virus on the fetus at a critical time in development. The most critical time is the first trimester (the first 3 months of a pregnancy). After the 4 th month, maternal rubella infection is less likely to harm the developing fetus. The incidence of rubella syndrome has decreased dramatically since the advent of rubella vaccine. Risk factors include lack of the recommended rubella immunization and contact with a person who has rubella. Non-immunized, non-immune pregnant women are at risk for infection and subsequent damage to the fetus.
