Quiz On Rubella Disease Management

"Dear Doctor's Participate In This Fun And Exciting Quiz On Rubella is a contagious disease caused by a virus. Most people who get rubella usually have a mild illness, with symptoms that can include a low-grade fever, sore throat, and a rash that starts on the face and spreads to the rest of the body. Pregnant women who contract rubella are at risk for miscarriage or stillbirth, and their developing babies are at risk for severe birth defects with devastating, lifelong consequences. CRS can affect almost everything in the developing baby's body. Rubella has been nearly eliminated in the United States because of the routine vaccination of children. Vaccination protects a person against rubella for life. But people who were never vaccinated as children can get infected. You can be vaccinated as an adult when you are not pregnant. The main symptom of rubella is a spotty rash that starts on the face or behind the ears and spreads to the neck and body. The rash takes 2 to 3 weeks to appear.
