Hey friend!!!!
Measles and rubella are viral diseases. These both diseases can be very serious.
*MEALSES starts as a fever,cough,runny nose,conjunctivitis(pinkeye), and a red, pin point rash that starts on the face and spreads to the rest of the body.
If the virus infects the lungs, it can cause pneumonia.
Measles in older children can lead to inflammation of the brain, called encephalitis, which can cause seizures and brain damage.
*RUBELLA is also known as German measles. It can cause a mild rash on the face, swelling of glands behind the ears, and in some cases, swelling of the small joints and lows grade fever.
Most children recover quickly with no lasting effects.
But if a pregnant woman gets rubella, it can be devastating. If she's infected during the first trimester of pregnancy, there's at least a 20% chance her child will have a birth defect such as blindness,deafness, a heart defect, or mental retardation.
Hope this will help you friend.... ☺
