2024年2月21日 · Congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) affects newborns and can cause several health problems, like congenital heart disease and intellectual disability. It can affect your baby if you get rubella during pregnancy. CRS is preventable with rubella vaccination before pregnancy. What is congenital rubella syndrome?

Rubella is a typically mild childhood viral infection that may, however, have devastating consequences for infants infected before birth. Rubella is caused by a virus. The fetus or newborn may have symptoms depending on when during the pregnancy infection occurred.

2023年8月8日 · Maternal rubella during pregnancy can cause miscarriage, fetal death or congenital rubella syndrome. Few infants with congenital rubella continue to spread the virus in nasopharyngeal secretions and urine for a year or more. Rubella virus also has been recovered from lens aspirates in children with congenital cataracts for several years.

Congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) occurs when a human fetus is infected with the rubella virus (German measles) via maternal-fetal transmission and develops birth defects. [1] The most common congenital defects affect the ophthalmologic, cardiac, auditory, and neurologic systems.

Congenital rubella syndrome is caused by a virus known as a rubivirus. When adults and children contract the disease, it is known as rubella, or German measles. If a pregnant woman contracts rubella during her first trimester, there is a very good chance that she will pass it on to her fetus.

2024年5月14日 · Rubella is a contagious viral infection transmitted by airborne droplets that occurs most often in children and young adults. Rubella is the leading vaccine-preventable cause of birth defects, accounting for an estimated 100 000 infants born with congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) each year worldwide.

2020年4月28日 · Congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) is an illness in infants that results from maternal infection with rubella virus during pregnancy. When rubella infection occurs during early pregnancy, serious consequences—such as miscarriages, stillbirths, and a constellation of severe birth defects in infants—can result.

Rubella is a mild viral disease that typically occurs in children and non-immune young adults. In pregnant women, rubella infection can produce a constellation of severe birth defects known as congenital rubella syndrome.

Congenital rubella is a viral infection acquired from the mother during pregnancy. Signs are multiple congenital anomalies that can result in fetal death. Diagnosis is by serology and viral culture. There is no specific treatment. Prevention is by routine vaccination. ( See also Rubella and Overview of Neonatal Infections.)

Objective: Rubella virus infection during the first trimester of pregnancy can cause congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). We aimed to describe the abnormalities in order to define the ultrasound features to look for when performing prenatal scans. The goal of this review is to focus specifically on the signs of CRS accessible to prenatal diagnosis.
