Rubella ( russet) is a contagious viral infection that produces mild symptoms such as joint pain or rash. Rubella is usually spread by inhaling tiny droplets containing the virus and cough up by an infected person. Infection can also be spread by close contact with an infected person. A person is contagious from one week before the rash appears until one week after the disappearance of the rash. Newborns infected in utero may remain contagious for months afterwards.
Rubella is less contagious than measles, and many children are never infected. However, measles is a serious illness, particularly in pregnant women. Women infected during the first 16 weeks of pregnancy (especially in the first 8-10 weeks) may abort or give birth to a stillborn baby with a congenital malformation. Approximately 10% - 15% of young adult women have never recovered from rubella and if they become infected during early pregnancy are at risk of having a baby with serious congenital defects.Epidemics occur at irregular intervals during the spring. Larger outbreaks occur every 6-9 years. In the U.S., the number of cases of rubella and children infected with rubella before birth began to rise 1988thyear and peaked 1991st Now the number of cases is lower than ever. Got over measles leaves lifelong immunity. Symptoms and Diagnosis Symptoms commit about 14-21 days after infection. In children, the disease begins a slight opening illness of 1-5 days, with swollen lymph nodes in the neck and head, and on occasion articular pain. My throat does not hurt, but blushed at the beginning of the disease. Early symptoms may be very mild or absent in adolescents and adults. Pick up a mild rash that lasts about three days. The rash starts on the face and neck and quickly spreads to the trunk, arms and legs. How does the rash, mild redness affects the skin, especially on the face. Red freckles appear on the palate, melting in red blotches covering the back of the oral cavity. Diagnosis is based on typical symptoms. However, many cases of rubella misdiagnose or are so mild they go unnoticed. The final diagnosis is necessary in pregnant women, set to determine the level of antibodies to rubella virus in the blood. Prognosis and complicationsMost children fully recover from rubella. Male adolescents or adults may feel a temporary pain in the testicles. Up to one third of women get arthritis or articular pain with rubella. Rarely develop otitis media. Infection of the brain (encephalitis) is a rare but sometimes fatal complications. Rubella in pregnant women can be very serious because of possible congenital deformities fetus, stillbirth or abortion. Prevention and Treatment of Rubella Vaccine falls into routine immunization in childhood. The vaccine is usually injected into the muscle in combination with vaccines against mumps and measles. symptoms of rubella are rarely so severe that treatment is necessary. Inflammation of the middle ear can be treated with antibiotics, but any treatment can be cured encephalitis.
