the first person to get rubella was you ask me please then tell me thank you vey very much.... hhe he ☻
This is the scientific name. It's common name is German Measles. The name rubella means red as it produces a mild red rash. The virus is dangerous to a fetus. A vaccine is available for it. The vaccine is MMR (containing measles, mumps, rubella vaccines).
Rubella isn't usually a serious disease in children, a vaccine is a simple way to prevent it, however it can be very serious if a pregnant woman becomes infected. If she developed rubella during pregnancy, especially during the first three months, the infection is likely to spread to the foetus and cause congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). Up to 20% of the infants born to mothers infected with rubella during the first trimester of pregnancy have CRS. CRS can result in miscarriage, stillbirth and severe birth defects. The most common of the defects are blindness, deafness, heart damage and mental retardation.
In childhood, if not vaccinated, you can get the measles one time.
A few years ago, it was advised that children who were vaccinated many decades ago get a booster in teenage years.
For all people who have ever been exposed to or developed measles, people after age 50 can have Shingles. The virus that causes measles lies dormant in the body, when it can erupt again in late life. Shingles is a very painful outbreak, usually above nerves. It is often found around the waist, sides, and can affect the face and eyes.
I really dont know the answer
Vaccination is the best way to prevent rubella and is normally required by law for children entering school. Rubella vaccine is usually given in conjunction with measles and mumps vaccines in a shot referred to as MMR
Louis Pasteur and Emile Roux developed the first rabies vaccination in 1885. This vaccine was first used on a human on July 6, 1885, on a nine-year old boy Joseph Meister (1876-1940) who had been mauled by a rabid dog.[3]
German measles is a mild infectious illness caused by the rubella virus, which is why it is sometimes called rubella. There is no connection between German measles and measles. which is caused by a different virus.
German measles is caused by a virus, and is spread by fine droplets of moisture, which contains the virus. The droplets are produced when the infected person coughs, sneezes or even talks and another person then inhales these droplets and may become infected.
the German measles is another name for the disease Rubella which is caused by the Toga virus which is a RNA virus. there is a vaccine for it which is part of your MMR shots which we all get as kids.
The Rubella virus causes German Measles.
Nursing care:-
1-Isolation until 5th day of rash.
2-Keep a child in bed until fever and cough subside.
3-Dim light, clean eyelid, irrigate eye with saline.
4-Encourage fluid during fever.
5-Increase humidity in child's room to relieve cough.
6-Releive itching of skin by tepid bath and soothing lotion.
7-Immune serum or gamma-globulin may be given to modify illness and reduce
complication.
8-Antibacterial therapy given for treatment of complication e.g:respiratory
infection or gastroenteritis.
Supportive Care for Treating Measles
Supportive care can include:
In developing countries, malnutrition, vitamin A deficiency, and severe measles are common. For these situations, the treatment of measles should include vitamin A medication for two days, starting as soon as a measles diagnosis is made. This treatment has been shown to decrease the risk of blindness and death.
The rubella test is a routine blood test performed as part of prenatal care of pregnant women.
Chickenpox and measles are both viral communicable illnesses spread by respiratory droplets that can cause rashes. They are both vaccine-preventable.
The baby can have something called Rubella Syndrome if the mother has rubella in her first trimester. Quote from the Related Link below: The classic triad for congenital rubella syndrome is: * Sensorineural deafness - (58% of patients) * Eye abnormalities - especially cataract and microphthalmia (43% of patients) * Congenital heart disease - especially patent ductus arteriosus (50% of patients)
Other manifestations of CRS may include: * spleen, liver or bone marrow problems (some of which may disappear shortly after birth) * mental retardation * small head size (microcephaly) * eye defects * low birth weight * thrombocytopenic purpura (presents as a characteristic "blueberry muffin" rash) * hepatomegaly * micrognathia
Although rubella is generally considered a childhood illness, people of any age who have not been vaccinated or previously caught the disease can become infected.
Rubella is a highly infectious and reportable disease that primarily effects the skin and lymph nodes it is also called the German measles or three day measles.
Rubella is particularly dangerous to pregnant women and the baby they carry. Contracting Rubella in the first trimester is known to cause serious damage to 90% of unborn babies. Birth defects range from cataracts and deafness to heart abnormalities and brain damage.
Childhood vaccination has almost irradicated the disease in the western world.
This means the person has had rubella (German measles ) or a vaccination for rubella in the past and so is now immune. This test is often part of checks before pregnancy so that a vaccine can be given if it negative before a woman becomes pregnant. The vaccine is usually the MMR (which also immunises for mumps and measles). Single vaccine rubella is no longer licenced in the UK.
Rubella is an infection, that can be transmitted by inhaling droplets that get into the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. Rubella can also spread by direct contact with fluids from the nose or throat of an infected person.
