German measles,(rubella) is a mild illness and does not usually cause many annoying or painful symptoms for your child.
People who have had German measles once develop a lifetime immunity.
However, the virus can be extremely damaging to a foetus developing within the mother’s womb. It causes birth defects and serious abnormalities if the mother catches it during the first few months of pregnancy.
A child with German measles may not look or act sick, but symptoms may include:
swollen glands.
rash on the face and the neck; it spreads to the trunk and limbs
loss of appetite, irritability, loss of interest in personal care.
in an older child or teenager, joint pain and nerves may be affected.
A rash appears in only about half the cases of German measles and does not last for long.
German measles is caused by a virus found in the nose and throat of a patient. It is passed from person to person by the tiny droplets in the air breathed out. As well as this it is transmitted from a pregnant mother to her developing baby through the bloodstream via the placenta.
Your child should stay at home while sick or up to a week after any rash disappears.
No medical treatment of a child with German measles is required. If you are pregnant and are exposed to rubella, you should contact your Doctor immediately.
Immunisation will prevent this disease and also prevent it being passed onto pregnant mothers.
