Rubella virus, scientific name Rubivirus rubellae, is a member of the genus Rubivirus and belongs to the ...
Detection of the rubella virus via RT-PCR [19] Detection of rubella-specific IgM antibody [19] Detection of infant rubella-specific IgG antibody [19] at higher levels (and persists for a longer time) than expected for passive maternal transmission; Isolation of the rubella virus by nasal, blood, throat, urine, or cerebrospinal fluid specimens
TORCH syndrome is a cluster of symptoms caused by congenital infection with toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex, and other organisms including syphilis, parvovirus, and Varicella zoster. [1] Zika virus is considered the most recent member of TORCH infections. [2]

Photos of what pregnancy tissue from early abortions at 5 to 9 weeks actually looks like have gone viral.. The images, which were originally shared by MYA Network — a network of physicians who ...
For example, serology positive for rubella specific antibodies, viral culture with isolated rubella, or isolation of rubella virus RNA through polymerase chain reaction can all confirm that congenital rubella infection is the underlying cause of the blueberry muffin rash. [8]
Rubella vaccine is a vaccine used to prevent rubella. [1] Effectiveness begins about two weeks after a single dose and around 95% of people become immune. Countries with high rates of immunization no longer see cases of rubella or congenital rubella syndrome .
