Overview

Rubella on its own is not a very life threatening disease. The biggest problem with Rubella is called Congenital rubella syndrome. Since it is possible for a mother with Rubella to transmit it to her child, routine screening needs to be done. It is important to screen susceptible women, who may become pregnant, to help avoid the possibility of congenital rubella syndrome.
