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.

However, when it is acquired during pregnancy, rubella can be truly devestating. Rubella infection in a pregnant woman can cause a wide range of serious birth defects in up to 60 percent of infants exposed during the first month of gestation. Those defects may include heart and eye abnormalities, deafness, low birth rate, encephalitis (brain inflammation) and liver and kidney malfunction. Fortunately, a rubella vaccine was licensed in 1969 and currently is given in conjunction with measles and mumps vaccines at age 15 months, followed in most areas by a booster at school entry. (For more information on this and other vaccines, see Immunizations ). Thanks to rubella immunization, the number of cases of congenital rubella has fallen drastically in the past 20 years. Even so, small outbreaks of rubella occasionally occur, mainly among adults who neither had the disease nor received the immunization.

Go Back to The Archives Page. Rubella (German Measles): Signs and Symptoms Childhood Infections. Signs and Symptoms: Rubella infection is commonly known as "German measles" or "3-day measles." It may begin with 1 or 2 days of mild fever (99 degrees F to 100 degrees F) and swollen glands that are usually found either in the neck or behind the ears. On the second or third day, a rash appears that begins at the hairline and spreads downward on the rest of the body. As the rash spreads downward on the body, it usually clears on the face. The rubella rash appears as either pink or light red spots, about 0.1 inches (2 to 3 mm) in diameter, which may merge to form evenly colored patches. The rash doesn't itch, and lasts up to 5 days (the average is 3 days). As the rash passes, the affected skin may be shed in flakes. Other symptoms of rubella may include: mild conjunctivitis (inflammation of the lining of the eyelids and eyeballs); stuffy or runny nose; swollen lymph glands in other regions of the body; pain and swelling in the joints (especially in young women); and in males, pain in the testicles. When rubella occurs in a pregnant woman, it may cause congenital rubella syndrome with serious malformations of her developing fetus. Children infected with rubella before birth (a condition known as congenital rubella) are at risk for the following: growth retardation; malformations of the heart, eyes, or brain; deafness; and liver, spleen, and bone marrow problems.

It is spread from one child to another through direct contact with discharge from the nose and throat. Warning: Pregnant women who have been exposed to rubella need to seek medical attention immediately.

It is also very dangerous for pregnant women to come in contact with someone who has rubella, because it may cause a miscarriage.
