🌸 Rubella, also called German measles, is caused by a togavirus, not the measles (morbillivirus) virus.
🌸 It is less contagious and milder compared to measles, often presenting as a mild rash and fever in children and adults.
🌸 The major concern with rubella is its ability to cause congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) if contracted by a pregnant woman, especially in the first trimester.
🌸 CRS may result in miscarriage, congenital deafness, cardiac malformations, cataracts, and developmental delays in the infant.
