摘要:Rubella is an infectious disease caused by a virus belonging to the family Togaviridae. The virus is mainly transmitted from human to human by direct contact with infected bodily fluids or respiratory droplet secretions from infected people. In pregnant women, primary infection with the virus may cause congenital rubella syndrome (CRS), often accompanied by miscarriage, stillbirth and/or birth defects in infants. It is therefore strongly recommended by the World Health Organization that serological surveys on rubella virus infection in women of childbearing age be done.
