Ask NOAH About: Pregnancy Rubella Public Health Education Information Sheet Introduction What Is Rubella? What Risks Does Rubella Pose for the Fetus? How Are Babies With Congenital Rubella Syndrome Treated? ... References Introduction: Rubella (German measles) is a mild childhood illness that poses a serious threat to the fetus, if the mother contracts the illness during pregnancy. More than 20,000 babies were born with birth defects during an outbreak of rubella in 1964-65. The same outbreak also resulted in at least 10,000 miscarriages and stillbirths. Fortunately, major outbreaks of rubella no longer occur in this country. Since 1969, when a vaccine for rubella became available, children have been routinely vaccinated, helping to prevent the spread of the illness to susceptible pregnant women. Most women of childbearing age are immune to rubella because they either were vaccinated or had the illness during childhood. Because of widespread use of the vaccine, birth defects caused by rubella have become rare. However, since small outbreaks of rubella continue to occur, the potential for susceptible pregnant women to become infected continues to exist. As many as 2 in 10 women of childbearing age are susceptible to rubella. Women can protect their future children from the effects of rubella by getting tested for immunity prior to pregnancy and being vaccinated if they are not immune.

RUBELLA What is rubella? How common is rubella? Rubella and congenital rubella syndrome, a condition that affects newborn infants when the mother transfers rubella to the baby, became nationally reportable diseases in 1966. Prior to this, epidemics were occurring every six to nine years. Following vaccine licensure in 1969, no further large epidemics have occurred, and the number of U.S. cases has dropped annually from 58 per 100,000 in the pre-vaccine era to 0.5 per 100,000 by 1983. Since 1994, the disease has occurred predominately among persons 20 to 39 years old; most of these persons were born outside the U.S. in areas where rubella vaccine is not routinely given. The decrease in rubella cases has paralleled s increased efforts to vaccinate susceptible adolescents and young adults, especially women. Outbreaks continue to occur among groups of susceptible persons who congregate in locations that increase their exposure, such as workplaces, and among persons with religious and philosophic exemption to vaccination. Several recent outbreaks have occurred among Hispanic persons. In fact, in 1996, two-thirds of reported cases were among Hispanics. What are the symptoms of rubella?

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.

Joint pains or even arthritis occasionally occur in children and are common in adolescents and adults, especially in girls; these joint symptoms are usually of short duration. Encephalitis and low platelet count with possible increased bleeding tendency are rare complications. Ordinarily, rubella is a pretty trivial affair in childhood. Unfortunately, if a mother contracts rubella in the first trimester of pregnancy, her fetus may potentially be severely affected. This syndrome is called congenital rubella. It was once the leading cause of birth defects. The most commonly described birth defects associated with the congenital rubella syndrome involve the eye (cataracts and retinopathy), the heart (patent ductus arteriosus, pulmonic stenosis), the inner ear (nerve deafness), and the nervous system (behavioral disorders, meningoencephalitis, and mental retardation). Infants with congenital rubella are frequently growth-retarded For this reason - the protection of the unborn - rubella immunization is required of young children. Rubella immunity often wears off by adulthood; thus pregnant women are tested for immunity to assess the risk of congenital rubella, and they are immunized after delivery (when they can't be pregant) if their immunity has waned. But the most important control measure is to make sure that any child the mother to be comes in contact with is immune to rubella and thus cannot infect the mother. This is called

The rash, which may be itchy, begins on the face and then spreads to the entire body. About one half of all people who contract the disease never get the rash.
