Conference Description:

Rubella is a self-limited febrile rash illness with few complications. Although rubella itself is a disease often causing only mild illness to those infected, a significant disease burden is associated with rubella virus infection during the first trimester of pregnancy. Known as congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) the disease manifests itself as a host of syndromes affecting babies born to mothers who were infected with rubella during pregnancy. The earlier the mother is infected during pregnancy the worse the damage is to the child.
