How are measles and mumps virus similar to rubella virus?
Chickenpox and measles are both viral communicable illnesses spread by respiratory droplets that can cause rashes. They are both vaccine-preventable.
What happens to a person who has completed the MMR series when they are exposed to a contagious person who has the measles?
If the person who has had both their MMR jabs has a weak immune system - which may be due to them being too clean - they will probably catch measles. If the MMR jabs didn't work, they will get measles. If the MMR jabs worked, that person won't get measles unless they have a weak immune system (as mentioned above). There really isn't a definite answer to this question - they might get measles, they might not. It depends on if the MMR jabs worked and the strength of their immune system.
What are some of the recommend vaccines in Canada?
Some of the recommended vaccines for Canada are hepatitis B vaccines for both adults and children. One should also be vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella.
What can be confirmed by the rubella test?
The rubella test can either confirm that a recent infection has occurred (both IgG and IgM are present) or that a patient has immunity to rubella (IgG only is present).

What is the difference between measles and German measles?
Both Measles and Germal Measles (Rubella) are viruses. With German Measles you can get a blotchy red rash which comes and goes and usually disappears altogether after 2 days. You can sometimes suffer with a light cold prior to the rash appearing. German Measles can be dangerous for pregnant women who have no immunity to the virus. The infection period is usually a week before the rash until a week after it has disappeared. Measles has a mild upper respitatory affect. You can get a rash of spots, very high temperature which can last up to 4 days, cough, severe conjunctivitis and possibly encephalitis. The incubation period is 4 to 12 days and you can remain infectious for 3 to 5 weeks after rash.
You are 18 weeks pregnant and your rubella IgG test sHow is positive and Rubella IgM sHow is negative Please advise if its dangerous to your baby?
According to a Yahoo! Health article (http://health.yahoo.com/infectiousdisease-diagnosis/rubella-test/healthwise--hw5576.html):A rubella blood test detects antibodies that are made by the immune system to help kill the rubella virus. These antibodies remain in the bloodstream for years. The presence of certain antibodies indicates a recent infection, a past infection, or that you have been vaccinated against the disease.The presence of IgM antibodies means you have a current or recent rubella infection.The presence of IgG antibodies means you have immunity against the infection. This immunity could have been received either through vaccination for rubella or a past rubella infection.As long as the IgM test is negative, both you and your baby are in the clear!
Are chickenpox and measles related?
Measles and chicken pox are two completely different viruses. Symptoms of measles include sore throat, cough, a fever, and a rash inside the mouth.
Why do they test women for rubella before getting pregnant?
Infants born with rubella may already show signs of heart disease, retarded growth, hearing loss, blood disorders, vision problems, or pneumonia. They may also develop problems later in childhood, including autism, hearing loss.
What can go wrong with a bodies immune systems?
Broadly speaking, you can have an immune system that does not do enough to protect the body from infection, which is called an immune deficiency, and you can also have an overactive immune system that attacks the body's own tissues, which is called an autoimmune disease. Both of these types of problems come in a variety of forms with a variety of causes.

Rubella and chickenpox are not the same thing. While both are viral infectious diseases that cause rashes, they are caused by different viruses and have different complications and outcomes.

Virus known as the Measles Virus, both the disease and virus share the same name.
