==Background==
'''Rubella''', commonly known as '''German measles''', is a [[disease]] caused by Rubella virus. The name is derived from the Latin, meaning ''little red''. Rubella is also known as German measles because the disease was first described by German physicians in the mid-eighteenth century. This disease is often mild and attacks often pass unnoticed. The disease can last one to five days. Children recover more quickly than adults. Infection of the mother by Rubella virus during pregnancy can be serious; if the mother is infected within the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, the child may be born with [[congenital rubella syndrome]] (CRS), which is a range of serious incurable illnesses. Spontaneous abortion occurs in up to 20% of cases.<ref name="pmid5581012">{{cite journal

Rubella is a common childhood infection usually with minimal systemic upset although transient [[arthropathy]] may occur in adults. Serious complications are very rare. If it were not for the effects of transplacental infection on the developing foetus, rubella is a relatively trivial infection.


Acquired, (i.e. not congenital), rubella is transmitted via airborne droplet emission from the upper respiratory tract of active cases. The virus may also be present in the urine, faeces and on the skin. There is no carrier state: the reservoir exists entirely in active human cases. The disease has an [[incubation period]] of 2 to 3 weeks.<ref name="pmid11332662">{{cite journal

In most people the virus is rapidly eliminated however, it may persist for some months post partum in infants surviving the CRS. These children were an important source of infection to other infants and, more importantly, pregnant female contacts.

==Signs and Symptoms==
After an incubation period of 14-21 days, the primary symptom of rubella virus infection is the appearance of a rash ([[exanthem]]) on the face which spreads to the trunk and limbs and usually fades after three days. Other symptoms include low grade fever, swollen glands (post cervical lymphadenopathy), joint pains, headache, conjunctivitis.<ref name="pmid16022642">{{cite journal

}}</ref> The swollen [[gland]]s or lymph nodes can persist for up to a week and the [[fever]] rarely rises above 38 <sup>o</sup>C (100.4 <sup>o</sup>F). The rash disappears after a few days with no staining or peeling of the skin. Forchheimer's sign occurs in 20% of cases, and is characterized by small, red [[papule]]s on the area of the [[soft palate]].
 
Rubella can affect anyone of any age and is generally a mild disease, rare in infants or those over the age of 40. The older the person is the more severe the symptoms are likely to be. Up to one-third of older girls or women experience joint pain or arthritic type symptoms with rubella. The virus is contracted through the respiratory tract and has an incubation period of 2 to 3 weeks. During this incubation period, the carrier is contagious but may show no symptoms.
====Congenital Rubella Syndrome====
{{main|Congenital rubella syndrome}}
Rubella can cause [[congenital rubella syndrome]] in the newly born. The syndrome (CRS) follows intrauterine infection by Rubella virus and comprises cardiac, cerebral, ophthalmic and auditory defects.<ref name="pmid15259032">{{cite journal

}}</ref> It may also cause prematurity, low birth weight, and neonatal thrombocytopenia, anaemia and hepatitis. The risk of major defects or organogenesis is highest for infection in the first trimester. CRS is the main reason a vaccine for rubella was developed. Many mothers who contract rubella within the first critical trimester either have a miscarriage or a still born baby. If the baby survives the infection, it can be born with severe heart disorders (PDA being the most common), blindness, deafness, or other life threatening organ disorders. The skin manifestations are called "blueberry muffin lesions." <ref name="pmid16580940">{{cite journal

==Cause==
{{main|Rubella virus}}
 
The disease is caused by Rubella virus, a [[togavirus]] that is enveloped and has a single-stranded RNA genome.<ref name="pmid7817880">{{cite journal

}}</ref> The virus is transmitted by the respiratory route and replicates in the [[nasopharynx]] and [[lymph nodes]]. The virus is found in the blood 5 to 7 days after infection and spreads throughout the body. It is capable of crossing the placenta and infecting the foetus where it stops cells from developing or destroys them.<ref name="pmid16022642">{{cite journal

==Diagnosis of acquired rubella==
Rubella virus specific [[IgM]] antibodies are present in people recently infected by Rubella virus but these antibodies can persist for over a year and a positive test result needs to be interpreted with caution.<ref name="pmid17337363">{{cite journal

==Prevention==
{{main|MMR vaccine}}
Rubella infections are prevented by active immunization programs using live, disabled virus [[vaccine]]s. Two live attenuated virus vaccines, RA 27/3 and Cendehill strains, were effective in the prevention of adult disease. However their use in prepubertile females did not produce a significant fall in the overall incidence rate of CRS in the UK. Reductions were only achieved by immunisation of all children.
 
The vaccine is now given as part of the [[MMR vaccine]]. The [[WHO]] recommends the first dose is given at 12 to 18 months of age with a second dose at 36 months. Pregnant women are usually tested for immunity to rubella early on. Women found to be susceptible are not vaccinated until after the baby is born because the vaccine contains live virus.<ref name="pmid9639369">{{cite journal

The [[Immunization (medicine)|immunization]] program has been quite successful with Cuba declaring the disease eliminated in the 1990s. In 2004 the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] announced that both the congenital and acquired forms of rubella had been eliminated from the [[United States]].<ref>{{cite journal |author=Dayan GH, Castillo-Solórzano C, Nava M, ''et al'' |title=Efforts at rubella elimination in the United States: the impact of hemispheric rubella control |journal=Clin.

==Treatment==
Symptoms are usually treated with [[paracetamol]] until the disease has run its course. Treatment of newly born babies is focused on management of the complications. Congenital heart defects and cataracts can be corrected by surgery.<ref name="pmid17197734">{{cite journal

==Epidemiology==
Rubella is a disease that occurs worldwide. The virus tends to peak during the spring in countries with temperate climates. Before the vaccine to rubella was introduced in 1969, widespread outbreaks usually occurred every 6-9 years in the United States and 3-5 years in Europe, mostly affecting children in the 5-9 year old age group.<ref name="pmid11798368">{{cite journal

}}</ref> Since the introduction of vaccine, occurrences have become rare in those countries with high uptake rates. However, in the UK there remains a large population of men susceptible to rubella who have not been vaccinated. Outbreaks of rubella occurred amongst many young men in the UK in 1993 and  in 1996 the infection was transmitted to pregnant women, many of whom were immigrants and were susceptible. Outbreaks still arise, usually in developing countries where the vaccine is not as accessible.<ref name="pmid16989272">{{cite journal

In 1814, George de Maton first suggested that it be considered a disease distinct from both measles and scarlet fever. All these physicians were German, and the disease was known  as Rötheln (from the German name ''Röteln''), hence the common name of "German measles". <ref>Best, J.M., Cooray, S.,  Banatvala J.E.

In 1940, there was a widespread epidemic of rubella in Australia. Subsequently, ophthalmologist Norman McAllister Gregg found 78 cases of congenital cataracts in infants and 68 of them were born to mothers who had caught rubella in early pregnancy.<ref name=Lee2000/><ref name=cdc/> Gregg published an account, ''Congenital Cataract Following German Measles in the Mother'', in 1941. He described a variety of problems now know as [[congenital rubella syndrome]] (CRS) and noticed that the earlier the mother was infected, the worse the damage was. The virus was isolated in tissue culture in 1962 by two separate groups led by physicians Parkman and Weller.<ref name=MoHNZ/><ref name=Lee2000/>
 
There was a pandemic of rubella between 1962 and 1965, starting in Europe and spreading to the United States.<ref name=MoHNZ/> In the years 1964-65, the United States had an estimated 12.5 million rubella cases. This led to 11,000 miscarriages or therapeutic abortions and 20,000 cases of congenital rubella syndrome. Of these, 2,100 died as neonates, 12,000 were deaf, 3,580 were blind and 1,800 were mentally retarded. In New York alone, CRS affected 1% of all births <ref> J.B. Hanshaw, J.A. Dudgeon, and W.C.
