Situation and vulnerability
The onset of pregnancy is particularly sensitive. A mild rash in adults does not reflect the fetal risk.
Signs and limits of their interpretation
Eruption, moderate fever and lymph nodes are possible. Some infections go without symptoms.
Diagnosis and monitoring
Confirmation requires appropriate examinations. Serological results during pregnancy should be interpreted with previous dates and results.

Prevention and care
Prevention is based on vaccination according to schedule. Check protection before pregnancy and discuss contact quickly during pregnancy.
Practical issues
Are rubella and measles the same disease?
No. They are due to different viruses and have distinct consequences and approaches despite some resemblances of eruption.
Preparing for an exchange with a professional
- Pregnancy term and date of contact
- Vaccine diary and previous analyses
- Start of eruption and displacement
