Rubella is a type of viral infectious disease caused by infection with the rubella virus. Children and adults who have never been infected with the rubella virus or who have never been vaccinated against rubella after birth can easily become infected with the rubella virus and get rubella.

When pregnant women who are not immune to rubella virus infection become infected with the rubella virus from 2-3 weeks before pregnancy to the end of the third month after pregnancy, the fetus can also become infected with the rubella virus.

When a fetus gets rubella, it can cause birth defects in various parts of the body, including the brain, heart, eyes, and ears.

In addition, when the fetus is infected with the rubella virus or other types of viruses, the fetus can contract a congenital viral epidemic.

You need to be especially careful to avoid getting any kind of infectious disease during pregnancy.

Pregnant women should be very careful not to get close to people suffering from rubella or other types of viral or bacterial infectious diseases, and to avoid contact with people suffering from infectious diseases.

If a pregnant woman herself or any member of her family has rubella or any other type of infectious disease, she should inform her doctor immediately.

Nowadays, most children and adult women are already immune to rubella virus infection, as all children receive a primary rubella vaccine when they are 12-15 months old and a second rubella vaccine when they are 4-5 years old. Because of this, most pregnant women do not get rubella during pregnancy.

Women who have not been vaccinated against rubella as recommended and who have not had a history of rubella before pregnancy should be vaccinated against rubella 3 months before pregnancy.

However, do not receive rubella vaccination from 3 months before pregnancy until delivery. do.

Pregnant women who have had rubella in the past or who have been vaccinated against rubella do not get rubella, and the fetus usually does not get rubella.

During regular pregnancy check-ups during pregnancy, the rubella immune system is routinely tested to determine whether the pregnant woman has had rubella in the past, has been vaccinated against rubella, and has a rubella immune system that can resist rubella virus infection. If a pregnant woman gets rubella, it can cause a rash on the skin, a mild fever, and swollen lymph nodes.

If a pregnant woman gets rubella in the first month of pregnancy, there is a 50% chance that the fetus will be infected, and if it takes 3 months, the fetus is 10% likely to be infected. There is no special effect.

Zika virus infection during pregnancy

Causes and Epidemiology

It is a viral infection caused by Zika virus infection.

Mosquito bites can cause this disease. It is also infected by blood transfusion.

You can get infected through sexual intercourse. Thea can be infected by a mother with a Zika virus infection.

Outbreaks are occurring in Africa, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, the Americas, and Puerto Rico. The outbreak has also occurred in the United States.

However, in the United States, there are cases of outbreaks in travelers who have traveled abroad and returned. This viral infectious disease is a known infectious disease that occurred several decades ago.

Symptoms signs

When infected, asymptomatic or mild fever, skin rash, headache, joint pain, and conjunctivitis may appear.

Symptoms of these symptoms may persist for several days or for a week. In rare cases, symptoms are severe enough to be admitted to the hospital.

However, if a pregnant woman is infected with the virus, it can cause congenital nervous system malformations in the fetus, and even pregnant women who have been infected with the Zika virus but have no symptoms can infect the fetus with the virus.

In particular, the Ministry of Provisional Affairs in Brazil is conducting research on fetal malformations after being infected with this virus.

In particular, if a pregnant woman is infected with this virus, microcephaly can occur in the fetus and other brain abnormalities can occur.

Guillain-Barre’s syndrome caused by Zika virus infection is being studied.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis is based on medical history, symptom signs, examination findings, blood tests, and antibody-antigen tests.

Treatment

Symptomatic treatment is performed.

prevention

There are no vaccination drugs.

Use an insect repellant to prevent mosquito bites.

Also, dress well to prevent mosquito bites.

In particular, pregnant women do not travel to countries with mosquitoes that carry the Zika virus during pregnancy to prevent infection with the Zika virus.

And be careful not to be infected with the virus by keeping it through sexual intercourse.
