rubella

Rubella (German measles) is a common acute infectious disease caused by rubella virus. Also known as wind magpie, mule and so on. It is a common respiratory infection in children. Because the rash of rubella comes quickly, it also goes fast, like a gust of wind, so rubella is also named. Rubella virus is very weak in vitro and is as infectious as measles. It is usually transmitted by coughing, talking or sneezing. It is characterized by fever and generalized skin rash, often accompanied by swollen lymph nodes behind the ears and occiput. Because the systemic symptoms are generally mild and the disease course is short, the disease is often considered irrelevant, but in recent years, severe and severe cases of rubella outbreaks have been reported frequently. If a pregnant woman is infected with rubella, it will cause severe damage to the fetus, and both children and adults can develop the disease. Chinese medicine calls this disease rubella, rubella, and rash. It is believed that it is caused by the evil skin when it feels wind and heat.
