Overview
Congenital rubella syndrome affects multiple organ systems. The classic triad of congenital rubella syndrome consists of cataracts, sensorineural hearing loss and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). However, many other findings are evident on physical examination, including low birth weight, skin lesions and hepatosplenomegaly.[1][2][3][4][5]
