Rubella is another name for German Measles. It is HIGHLY contagious, and if a pregnant woman is exposed to someone with Rubella, her baby will be born with SERIOUS birth defects.
This is not an illness that people usually get in the United States because it is prevented by the MMR vaccine.
If someone in fact has this illness, they must contact the CDC and their doctor, and ride it out. There is very little to do for treatment
