Rubella
open-in-new
<h2 id="signs-and-symptoms">Signs and symptoms</h2> <p>Rubella has symptoms similar to those of flu. However, the primary symptom of rubella virus infection is the appearance of a rash (exanthem) on the face which spreads to the trunk and limbs and usually fades after three days, which is why it is often referred to as three-day measles. The facial rash usually clears as it spreads to other parts of the body. Other symptoms include low-grade fever, swollen glands (sub-occipital and posterior cervical <a href="/facts/Lymphadenopathy/t7t4tEon">lymphadenopathy</a>), <a href="/facts/Arthralgia/jEHMRWX7">joint pains</a>, <a href="/facts/Headache/mdmmC9DP">headache</a>, and <a href="/facts/Conjunctivitis/u1NJfh3A">conjunctivitis</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:39" href="#fn:39"><sup>39</sup></a> </p><p>The swollen <a href="/facts/Gland/gfq2of7k">glands</a> or <a href="/facts/Lymph_nodes/vkwfcQjH">lymph nodes</a> can persist for up to a week and the <a href="/facts/Fever/waVxR2Ac">fever</a> rarely rises above 38 °C (100.4 °F). The rash of rubella is typically pink or light red. The rash causes itching and often lasts for about three days. The rash disappears after a few days with no staining or peeling of the skin. When the rash clears up, the skin might shed in very small flakes where the rash covered it. <a href="/facts/Forchheimer_spots/HACjykSb">Forchheimer spots</a> occur in 20% of cases and are characterized by small, red <a href="/facts/Papule/2J7QwJdE">papules</a> on the area of the <a href="/facts/Soft_palate/NTlaJCkF">soft palate</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:40" href="#fn:40"><sup>40</sup></a> </p><p>Rubella can affect anyone of any age.
