What Is Rubella - German Measles
- Rubella - German Measles is an infectious viral disease
that occurs most often in the late winter and
spring.
- It is a contagious viral
infection best known by its distinctive red rash.
- Rubella spreads when people breathe in virus-infected
fluid like droplets sprayed into the air when a person with the disease
sneezes or coughs, or shares food or drink with someone infected. Many
people with rubella have few or no symptoms.
-
Rubella
is not the same as measles (rubeola), though the two illnesses do share some
characteristics, including the red rash.
- Rubella infection may begin with 1-2 days of mild
fever and swollen, tender lymph nodes, usually in
the back of the neck or behind the ears.
- The rash can itch and lasts up to 3 days.
- A rash starts on the face and upper neck,
spreads down the back and trunk, then extends to the
arms and hands, as well as the
legs and feet.
- This is followed by a cough, runny nose, and
conjunctivitis (pink eye).
- After about five days, the rash fades the same
order it appeared.
- As the rash clears, the affected skin might shed in very
fine flakes.
- Other symptoms of rubella include (usually in adults or
teens) headache, loss of appetite, mild conjunctivitis which is inflammation
of the lining of the eyelids and eyeballs, a stuffy or runny nose, swollen
lymph nodes in other parts of the body, and pain and swelling in the joints
(especially in young women).
- Rubella can pass through a pregnant woman's bloodstream
to infect her unborn child. The main medical danger of rubella is the
infection of pregnant women because it can cause congenital rubella syndrome
in developing babies.
