> Rubella
> Causes and Risks:
> The disease is caused by a virus that is spread
> through the air or by close contact. It can also be
> transmitted to a fetus by a mother with an active
> infection. The disease is usually mild and may even go
> unnoticed. Children may have few symptoms, but adults
> may experience a prodrome (warning symptom) of a fever
> , headache , malaise , runny nose , and inflamed eyes
> that lasts from 1 to 5 days before the rash appears. A
> person can transmit the disease from 1 week before the
> onset of the rash until 1 week after the rash
> disappears. The disease is not as contagious as
> rubeola ( measles ), therefore many people are not
> infected during childhood. Lifelong immunity to the
> disease follows infection. Epidemics may occur at
> about 6- to 9-year intervals. The risk factors are the
> unimmunized individuals. Only 1,400 cases were
> reported in the U.S. in 1991.
>
> The disease is potentially serious because of the
> ability to produce defects in a developing fetus if
> the mother is infected during early pregnancy . As
> many as 10 to 15% of women in their childbearing years
> are susceptible to infection. 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. One or more
> defects may occur in an infected fetus and include
> deafness , cataracts , microcephaly, mental
> retardation , congenital heart defects, and other
> defects. A miscarriage or stillbirth may occur.

> Prevention:
> Live rubella virus vaccine is routinely recommended
> for all children. It is routinely given at 15 months
> of age, but is sometimes given earlier during
> epidemics. A second vaccination is required in some
> locations between the ages of 4 to 6 or 11 to 12. MMR
> immunization (vaccine) is a combination vaccine that

> Women of child-bearing age may be screened by rubella

> Symptoms:
>
> low-grade fever (102 F or lower)
> headache
> general discomfort or uneasiness ( malaise )
> runny nose
> inflammation of the eyes ( bloodshot eyes )
> rash with skin redness or inflammation
> cloudy cornea
> Note: There may be no symptoms

> electronystagmography
> caloric stimulation

> Treatment:
> There is no treatment for this disease. Acetaminophen
