Overview
There is no specific antiviral therapy for rubella infection. Symptomatic therapy and reporting of the infection to the local disease control agencies is recommended.
Treatment
- There is no specific antiviral therapy for rubella infection.
- Health care providers should perform the following when diagnosis of rubella is suspected:
- Consider rubella in unvaccinated patients with febrile rash illness and other rubella symptoms, especially if the person recently traveled internationally or was exposed to a person with febrile rash illness.
- Promptly isolate people suspected to have rubella and report them to the local health department.
- Collect throat (best source), nasal, or urine specimens for viral detection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing and molecular typing, and blood for serologic testing.
