http://www.ecbt.org/rubella.htm

Extractions: (German Measles) 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 unusually small brains. Many are mentally retarded. Miscarriages are also common among women who get rubella while they are pregnant. The last big rubella epidemic was in 1964. As a result of that epidemic about 20,000 babies were born with severe birth defects.

Rubella (12-36 Months)
Toddler Health rubella Approved by the BabyCenter Medical Advisory BoardWhat's below What is rubella? See also What is rubella?
http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/toddler/toddlerills/11386.html

Extractions: Rubella, more commonly known as German measles or three-day measles, is a relatively mild but highly contagious viral infection characterized by a pink-red rash, a mild fever, and swollen lymph nodes along the sides of the neck or below the ears. It resembles regular measles, but is not the same disease.(According to the American Medical Association, the term "German" has nothing to do with the country; instead it's probably derived from the Latin word germanus , which means "similar to.") Because most children in the United States get the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine between 12 and 15 months, cases of rubella are rare here. Only 364 cases of rubella were reported in the United States in 1998, and 74 percent of those cases were in unimmunized people over 20 years old, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Before the rubella vaccine was licensed in the 60s, the disease was quite common among preschool and elementary school children. Because the virus is so contagious, it spread like wildfire through schools. Rubella is not dangerous for young children, but it can be for unborn babies during their first trimester in utero. It can cause

http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/pregnancy/prenatalhealth/9527.html

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: Rubella 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.

http://www.iowaclinic.com/adam/ency/article/001574.shtml

Extractions: 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 immunity to the disease follows infection, and there is a safe and effective vaccine to prevent rubella. Rubella is most serious because of its ability to produce defects in a developing fetus if the mother is infected during early pregnancy Congenital rubella syndrome occurs in 25% or more of infants born to women who acquired rubella during the first trimester of pregnancy Defects are rare if the infection occurs after the 20th week of pregnancy. One or more defects may occur in an infected fetus and include
