Clinical Significance
Rubella (German Measles) is a member of the togaviridae family. Primary infections are generally mild, with symptoms such as mild rash, low-grade fever, and lymphadenopathy. In contrast, primary infections during pregnancy can pass trans-placentally to the fetus and can lead to fetal death or congenital rubella syndrome (CRS); the risk of fetal infection is greatest during the first trimester of pregnancy.
