Congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) can occur in children whose mothers contract the rubella virus, sometimes called German measles, during pregnancy [2]. Depending on the gestational period when the mother contracts rubella, an infant born with CRS may be unaffected by the virus or it may have severe developmental defects. The most severe effects of the virus on fetal development occur when the ...

We describe a rubella outbreak that occurred in Romania between September 2011 and December 2012. During this period 24,627 rubella cases, 41.1% (n=10,134) of which female, were notified based on clinical criteria, and a total of 6,182 individuals were found serologically positive for IgM-specific rubella antibody. The median age of notified cases was 18 years (range: <1-65) and the most affect...

Immunoprecipitation of [3H]amino acid labelled virus with monoclonal or human convalescent rubella sera and subsequent analysis by electrophoresis and fluorography, revealed three structural proteins of rubella virus: VP3: 59,000; VP2: 44,800; and VP1: 33,000.

PURPOSE To characterize the polyspecific intraocular antibody synthesis in aqueous humor of patients with chronic inflammatory diseases of the eye and to detect the causative antigen in Fuchs heterochromic cyclitis (FHC). DESIGN Retrospective case-control study. METHODS Intraocular antibody synthesis is detected in aqueous humor with the Antibody Index [AI] (improved Goldmann-Witmer Index) ...

Rubella, also known as German measles or three-day measles, is a self-limited, mild viral illness that poses little danger to children or adults. For the developing fetus, however, infection with rubella virus is a grave threat, capable of inducing severe anomalies and permanent disability. Despite widespread vaccination programs, populations of susceptible individuals persist, among them women...
