 | | No special precaution is necessary in the household setting of a child with congenital rubella syndrome, although parents should be counseled regarding potential serious risk to pregnant women exposed to the child. | | | The retinopathy is benign and nonprogressive and does not interfere with vision (in contrast to the cataracts) unless choroid neovascularization develops in the macula. | | | Education and rehabilitation follow-up care are important for children with congenital rubella. |

| | The most important consequences of rubella are the miscarriages, stillbirths, fetal anomalies, and therapeutic abortions that result when rubella infection occurs during early pregnancy, especially during the first trimester. | | | Updated information on adverse events and contraindications, particularly for persons with severe HIV infection, persons with a history of egg allergy or gelatin allergy, persons with a history of thrombocytopenia, and persons receiving steroid therapy. | | | All persons at risk who cannot readily provide laboratory evidence of immunity or a documented history of vaccination on or after the first birthday should be considered susceptible and should be vaccinated unless vaccination is contraindicated (Table_1) (see Documentation of Immunity). |

| | Rubella virus continues to circulate in the community, and not all pregnant women are immune. | | | There is no evidence of any increased risk of new onset chronic arthropathies or neurological conditions in women receiving the RA27/3 rubella vaccine (9). | | | The Rubella-associated Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes (RAAPO) surveillance system was established in July 1996 to determine the magnitude of rubella-associated adverse pregnancy outcomes including those previously not monitored, such as spontaneous and induced abortions and stillbirths (5). |

| | A cohort study showed that after 6 to 7 years, 98.7% of girls who had been naturally immune were still immune compared with 95.1% of girls who had been susceptible and been vaccinated, and 42.8% who were susceptible and chose not to be vaccinated. | | | Good evidence to support the recommendation that the condition be specifically considered in a PHE. | | | Vaccination history can be verbal or taken from vaccination cards, school records or medical charts. |

| | Pregnant women who contracted rubella in the first trimester of their pregnancy could pass the rubella virus to their developing fetus, causing the child to be born deaf, blind, with cardiac problems, developmental delays and other medical conditions. | | | In the United States alone, approximately 20,000 children were born with two or more of these symptoms, which came to be known as congenital rubella syndrome, or CRS. | | | Although in March, 2005, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that rubella has been virtually eradicated in the United States, the World Health Organization reports that approximately 100,000 children with CRS continue to be born worldwide every year. |

| | A key element in achieving this goal is to have in place sensitive surveillance systems for congenital rubella syndrome to help monitor the effectiveness of immunization programs and to identify any need for change in elimination strategies. | | | Developmental or late onset conditions such as diabetes and progressive panencephalitis and any other conditions possibly caused by rubella virus. | | | During the mumps and rubella consensus conference in 1994, a national goal was set for the elimination of indigenous rubella infection during pregnancy by the year 2000 and thus preventing fetal damage, congenital rubella syndrome and other negative outcomes of infection. |

| | Many people with rubella have few or no symptoms at all. | | | Other symptoms of rubella, which are more common in teens and adults, may include: headache; loss of appetite; mild conjunctivitis (inflammation of the lining of the eyelids and eyeballs); a stuffy or runny nose; swollen lymph nodes in other parts of the body; and pain and swelling in the joints (especially in young women). | | | As this is a generally mild disease in children, the primary medical danger of rubella is the infection of pregnant women, which may cause congenital rubella syndrome in developing babies. |
