NOTE


Rubella has been    eradicated  from    the United  States; since   2004,   no  cases   have    been    reported.

Prevention includes rubella IgG antibody screening for all pregnant women.
Rubella-susceptible women should avoid known rubella cases, then receive
active immunization after delivery. Because rubella vaccine is made using a live
attenuated virus, pregnancy should be avoided for one month after
immunization.


Treatment. No specific treatment is available.
