Rubella, also called German measles or three-day
measles, is a contagious viral infection best known by
its distinctive red rash. Aside from the rash, people with
German measles usually have a fever and swollen
lymph nodes.

Key facts
• Rubella is a contagious, generally mild viral
infection that occurs most often in children
and young adults.
• Rubella infection in pregnant women may
cause fetal death or congenital defects
known as congenital rubella syndrome
(CRS).
• Worldwide, over 100 000 babies are born
with CRS every year.
• There is no specific treatment for rubella
but the disease is preventable by
vaccination.
Etiologic
Agent
Reservoi
r
Rubella is caused by
the RNA virus of the
Togavirus family or
the family togaviridae
or the Rubivirus
People, typically children
in unvaccinated
populations and typically
adolescents and adults
in well immunized
populations
Portal of
Exit
Mode of
Transmission§ Direct or droplet contact with an infected
person’s respiratory secretions, from 1 week
prior to onset of rash to 1-2 weeks after
disappearance of rash
(spreads when an infected person coughs or
sneezes)
§ Transplacental transmission to a fetus by a
mother with an active infection (while pregnant,
she can pass it to her developing baby and
cause serious harm)
§ Rubella usually occurs in the winter
and spring and spreads very easily
• The portal of entry is through the respiratory
tract. Mucus membrane through the respiratory
tract to blood and then spreads to distant sites.
Lymphoid, skin and organs.
• Maternal viremia, placental infection and
transplacental spread to the fetus
The portal
of entry
Susceptibility and
resistance to rubella
 Immunity after natural disease is usually lifelong. Immunity after
vaccination is long term and usually lifelong, although
reinfection of vaccine recipients has been observed, including
asymptomatic reinfection.
 Passive maternal immunity is acquired transplacentally. Infants
born to immune mothers are ordinarily protected for 6–9
months, depending on the amount of maternal antibodies
transferred
 Rubella is typically a mild disease and no specific treatment has
been found. Rest and fluids are typically the treatment for the
disease. Pain relievers like acetaminophen and aspirin can be
used to reduce fevers and inflammation. People remain
contagious for about 7 days after the onset of the rash, and they
should be isolated from school, work, and non-immunized
people (6). Treatment to CRS depends on the type of defect
caused and should be treated according to treatment of specific
defects (3).
 If a person with suspected rubella is pregnant, the diagnosis
should be confirmed serologically, and the patient referred
to a specialist obstetrician for advice, taking care not to
expose other pregnant women to possible infection in the
process

Prevention: Rubella is most commonly prevented by
the rubella vaccine. The widespread use of the vaccine
prevents outbreaks and the occurrence of birth defects
due to CRS. The vaccine is typically given to children
between 12 and 15 months as part of their Measles-
Mumps-Rubella shot (MMR). A second dose of the
vaccine is given at 4-6 years of age (5). The vaccine
provides life-long protection against the disease (4).
The vaccine is very safe and only occasionally has
complaints of fever, lyphadenopathy, arthralgia, and
pain at the injection site. People who have acquired the
disease naturally are also immune to infection again.
The best way to prevent rubella is by the maintenance
of high immunization levels, intense surveillance of
