Rubella, or German measles, is an infection characterized by a pink-red rash that first appears on the face and later spreads to other parts of the body, a mild fever, and swollen lymph nodes. 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 cause birth defects from deafness to encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) and heart defects. Fortunately, at least 75 percent of women in their childbearing years are immune to the disease, either from a childhood vaccination or a bout with German measles as a child. What if I'm not immune? What can I do? Ideally, you should get vaccinated before you get pregnant and then wait three months before trying to conceive. This gives your body enough time to completely kill off the injected virus so you won't be in danger of passing it to your baby. If you got the vaccine in the early weeks of your pregnancy before you knew you were carrying a child, don't worry; the chances it will harm your baby are very low. Still, your doctor may recommend a detailed ultrasound at 18 weeks to give you some reassurance. If you become infected with German measles during pregnancy, the risk to your baby depends on when you contracted the infection. If it happens during the first month, there's a one in two chance your baby will be affected. By the third month, the risk drops to one in 10. Unfortunately, nothing can be done during the pregnancy to protect the fetus. You'll need to work closely with your healthcare provider to test for birth defects and prepare for when the baby's born.

Home Pregnancy Vaccinations Primary Care ... Medicine Rubella (German Measles) The Disease When children get rubella, it is usually a mild disease, with a slight fever that lasts for about 24 hours, and a rash on the face and neck that lasts two or three days. Rubella is also called German measles or 3-day measles. It is caused by the rubella virus, and usually strikes in the winter and spring. It is spread through close contact such as coughing, sneezing, or talking. Most children recover quickly and completely. Rubella also strikes adults, and outbreaks can occur among teenagers and adults who have not been immunized. Adults who get rubella may get swollen glands in the back of the neck and pain, swelling, or stiffness in their joints (arthritis). But 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, there is an 80% chance that her baby will be born with birth defects. This is called Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS). Babies with CRS may be born deaf or blind. They may have damaged hearts or small brains. Many are mentally retarded. Miscarriages are also common among women who get rubella while they are pregnant. It takes about 12-23 days from the time of exposure for people to start showing signs of the disease. Rubella is most contagious while the rash is visible, but it can be spread from about a week before the rash starts until about a week after.

Link to Patient Information Leaflets website Common Illnesses Back pain Burns and scalds Chicken pox Colds ... Sunburn Back Pain Back pain causes 13 million working days to be lost in Britain each year. The spine, being made up of 24 fragile bones and associated cartilage and tendons, supports the whole weight of the upper body, and therefore it is understandable that it sometimes goes wrong. Most low back pain is self limiting and lasts just a few days. Heat and anti-inflammatories help. It is advisable to consult your doctor if back pain persists for longer than a few days. If, as is usual, the pain has been caused by abuse, i.e. lifting too heavy weights etc., be sensible and take things easy. Take care to sit as upright as possible with a support for the small of the back. Take antiinflammatories, aspirin or paracetamol, which will not only relieve the pain, but will help to relieve inflammation. Your doctor may well prescribe stronger drugs, heat treatment, gentle exercise or physiotherapy. Bed rest is no longer felt to be the best treatment for back pain, gentle mobilization and exercise is more likely to lead to quicker recovery.

Infants and children who develop the disease usually only have a mild case of the rash and side effects. However, children who contract rubella from their mother during pregnancy, can have severe birth defects and consequences. It is also very dangerous for pregnant women to come in contact with someone who has rubella, because it may cause a miscarriage. What causes rubella? Rubella is caused by a virus, called a Rubivirus. It can be spread by secretions from an infected person or by a pregnant mother to the unborn child.

Unityspot.com Ivanhoe and the German Measles by Dorothy Canfield HIS The authorities of the school, being highly scientific, believed on principle in allowing much scope to "individual initiative," although, as a rule, they made every kindly and mistaken effort to shut off this valuable quality by thinking of all pleasant enterprises before the children possibly could. The proposition of the Sixth Form to make a play of "Ivanhoe" and act it before the school was received, therefore, with the most modern and up-to-date approval, almost enough to take the fun out of the scheme. But with Wamba's eager spirit flashing from desk to desk, interest could not fail to rise high. The play was written by the Sixth Form en masse, a feudal loyalty so welding them together that they acted as one mind. Beside that, they had "played 'Ivanhoe'" so much that there was really little to do beyond arranging chronologically the various scenes they were accustomed to act with prodigious vigor in their model and scientific playground. The hermit in the scene with Richard Coeur-de-Lion might rollick most jovially and win laurels untold by making the teachers present at the rehearsals laugh over his singing and jokes, but Wamba was content with his own part. There was a single-hearted ardor about that speech which the teachers did not applaud as they sometimes did the fiery remarks of Front-de-Boeuf or Ulrica, but nobody offered him any suggestions as to how it should be said, and there was always a little hushed silence after he had finished and caught Ivanhoe's fat Dutch hand in his, which he rightly, although but half-consciously, took to be a tribute to his interpretation.

Rubella (German measles) in children Home Asthma Childhood diseases The Baby Page ... Contact Dr Parang The MMR vaccine The components of the MMR vaccine are the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines. They are all live viral vaccines, and so require careful refrigeration for storage. The vaccine is given at the age of 15 months or later. When the measles vaccine has been given at the age of 9 months, this second dose covers those children who did not develop immunity at that time. If measles vaccine was given later, there should be a gap of 3 months before MMR is given. If no measles vaccine has been given till the age of 15 months, a single dose of mmr is enough for lifelong immunity. The mumps vaccine is not effective below the age of 1 year, and so the MMR vaccine cannot be given instead of measles at 9 months. The rubella vaccine also should not be given below one year of age. It is a highle effective vaccine, giving immunity to 95% of recipients. It gives long term and probably lifetime immunity. The MMR vaccine vaccine is given as a shallow (under the skin) injection, and does not cause significant pain or fever.

Rubella www.StudentHealth.co.uk Rubella (German measles) is a viral infection which is usually very mild in children; adults may be more unwell. The rash commonly starts on the face and behind the ears. The glands in the neck and at the base of the skull may be enlarged. There may also be a fever, headache and sore eyes (conjunctivitis). Adults and adolescents may also get pain in the joints. It is spread by droplet infection, ie coughs and sneezes. The incubation period is 14-21 days and an infected individual is infectious from 5 days before the rash appears to 5 days after. The illness is of little relevance to the individual who usually recovers quickly. If however, it is transmitted to a pregnant woman who is not immune to the virus, it can have a devastating effect on the developing baby. It can cause deafness, blindness, severe learning disability, heart defects and death. Immunisation is vital to prevent the spread of this infection. All pregnant women are tested in early pregnancy to determine whether or not they are immune to the infection. Women planning pregnancy would be sensible to have a blood test to check their immunity before they get pregnant. Immunisation can then be offered. It is advised that women do not get pregnant for 3 months after immunisation although babies born to women who have inadvertently been immunised during pregnancy do not seem to have had any rubella related problems.

X-Y-Z German measles Rubella, also called German measles or three-day measles, is a very contagious disease caused by the rubella virus. The virus causes fever, swollen lymph nodes behind the ears, and a rash that starts on the face and spreads to the torso and then to the arms and legs. Rubella is no longer very common because most children are immunized beginning at 12 months of age. Rubella is not usually a serious disease in children, but can be very serious if a pregnant woman becomes infected. Infection with rubella in the first 3 months of pregnancy can cause serious injury to the fetus, resulting in heart damage, blindness, deafness, mental retardation, miscarriage, or stillbirth. Rubella is spread person-to-person by breathing in droplets of respiratory secretions exhaled by an infected person. It may also be spread when someone touches his or her nose or mouth after their hands have been in contact with infected secretions (such as saliva) of an infected person. A person can spread the disease from as many as 5 days before the rash appears to 5 to 7 days after.

German measles and birth defects The link between rubella (German measles) in pregnant women and birth defects in their babies was not an easy one to find, because the disease can be relatively mild. After Gregg and others had suggested a link, the Australian statistician Oliver Lancaster (see also "Sunlight and skin cancer" ) was able to show that at the 1911, 1921 and 1933 Australian censuses there were peaks in the age distributions of deaf people, corresponding to a cohort born around 1899, when there was a known epidemic of rubella.

In many cases these symptoms were the result of some childhood illness such as Measles. German measles is a mild viral illness caused by the rubella virus. Rubella, also called German Measles or three-day Measles, and highly contagious disease caused by the rubella virus. It begins with a rash on the face and spread all over the body. Most children are immunized beginning at 12 months of age. Measles/Rubella can be very serious if a pregnant woman becomes infected with rubella in the first 3 months of pregnancy can cause serious injury to the fetus, resulting in heart damage, blindness, deafness, mental retardation, miscarriage, or stillbirth. Years ago, before effective prevention, Measles, Mumps, and Rubella were common, serious childhood diseases. A virus that wasn’t identified until 1962 caused rubella, the disease itself was first described late in the 18th century. The first physicians to describe it were German, hence the name German Measles. The name rubella was given in an outbreak at a British boys' school in India in 1841. The last major epidemic of rubella in the U.S. was in the spring of 1964. An effective vaccine was marketed beginning in the early 1970s!

Rubella (German Measles) As a disease of children this is very mild. In fact many people get it and scarcely even feel ill. The problem lies with women who contract Rubella while pregnant. If an infection occurs in the early stages of pregnancy, (during which of course she may not even know that she is pregnant), it massively disrupts the babies development and NINE OUT OF TEN of these babies are born with some kind of handicap, physical and / or mental and often serious. In the 1970's there was a program to vaccinate teenage girls and non immune women, but too many slipped through the net and too many handicapped babies were born, so now it is normal practice to vaccinate all children. Most GP's can arrange a blood test to see if you are immune, before you get pregnant so that you can be immunised first. Navigate this Site Our-Doctor Home Page. Emergency Action and First Aid.
