Congenital Rubella Infection

• Mother :
• Clinically – 

Asymptomatic
Symptomatic – fever

Arthralg
Malaise
Lymphadenopathy – sub occipital & posterior
 Characteristic macular rash in the face and the trunk

                                           

                                         

Pure clinical diagnosis is very unreliable

• Serological tests – Detection of Rubella specific IgM

                           Four fold rise in IgG in two samples taken seven days

                                    apart

     (High IgG levels also can indicate pass immunization or infection)

 If you have any query, just leave it on comments, I am always looking forward to answer them all.
