German Measles or Rubella What are the symptoms of German measles This viral disease is not as contagious or serious as measles. The incubation period is around 17 to 18 days. It starts like a mild cold with a runny nose, sore throat and a mild temperature. Two days later your child will break out in a rash. Initially, the spots will appear behind the ears and on the forehead before moving down the body. These spots are pale, flat, and more spread out than the ones symptomatic of measles. The rash lasts only for a few days. The glands on the back of the neck will swell up. Do I need to take this disease seriously The symptoms of this disease are so mild that there is no specific treatment. The best you can do is to make sure that your child is comfortable and keep her amused. While you need not be particularly worried about the health of your child, the greatest danger of this disease is that it could result in foetal damage in a pregnant woman. This disease can be prevented by inoculating your child with the MMR vaccine when she is between 12 to 18 months old. This should confer lifelong immunity from the disease.

Welcome to herbs 2000.com - Number one source of nutritional and traditional health care. herbs2000.com Amino acids Aromatherapy Bach flower remedies ... Z Let herbs be your medicine and medicine be your herbs ! German measles ( Rubella ) German measles (rubella) is a common childhood illness caused by a virus. It is characterized by general malaise, a rash , and swollen lymph glands. Typically the lymph glands become swollen first. Then a rash begins on the face and neck, and spreads to the trunk and extremities. The rash lasts for about three to five days, with the first lesions to appear being the first to heal. It is a pink or red raised rash that looks like small pimples. A child with German measles may also have achy and swollen joints . Her throat may appear red or pinkish, but usually will not feel sore. German measles is spread by respiratory contact. The virus incubates for fourteen to twenty-one days before signs of illness appear. The illness itself usually lasts for about five days. A child with German measles is contagious from approximately seven days before to five days after the rash appears, so if your child comes down with German measles, you should contact anyone who has been exposed to her over the previous week. This is important because, while German measles causes a relatively mild illness in children, it poses a very serious problem for pregnant women. Every effort should be made to avoid exposing a woman who is pregnant, or who is likely to become pregnant in the very near future, to this disease. If this occurs, the virus can affect the developing fetus and cause severe deformities.

Announcements Blood/Body Fluid Exposure Emergency Referrals/Links Free Paps/Mammograms ... SHC Main Page Rubella Immunization (German Measles) Rubella, also known as three-day measles or German measles, is a viral disease that continues to have outbreaks on college campuses. Although the disease itself is a common childhood rash disease, it is often overlooked or misdiagnosed because its signs and symptoms vary. Sometimes symptoms are almost nonexistent. Usually the disease is very mild and is transmitted chiefly through direct contact or droplet contact from nose and throat secretions. By far the most important consequences of rubella are abnormalities in the unborn child that result from rubella infection in early pregnancy, especially in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. As many as 20% of women of childbearing age may be susceptible to rubella. Preventing infection of the unborn child and consequent congenital rubella syndrome is the major object of the rubella immunization program. The live rubella virus vaccine gives long-term, probably life-long protection against rubella. The most frequent side effects of rubella vaccine in adults is some joint aches and occasional joint swelling. This occurs in as many as one in four recipients. Ask about side effects before receiving the vaccine. You should not have a rubella vaccination if you are pregnant, or if you are a person with a history of allergic reactions to certain drugs.
