What are the symptoms of german measles?


If you have been immunised can you still catch it. I was immunised 25 years ago. Thanks in advance for any info

The symptoms of German measles can be so slight you miss them entirely.

The light rash can come and be gone in a couple of hours or less. It doesn't cover your body and may be so light as to be unnoticeable. You may have a few slight cold like symptoms.

YES you can get it after immunisation - its supposed to lessen the symptoms if you are immunised.

A doctor can order a blood test - a rubella titre - to check your level of immunisation. In Australia its a routine test during pregnancy.

The problem of course is that German measles is known to cause birth defects so if you are pregnant - avoid anyone even suspected of having German measles.

If you think you have got German measles, had it, or been exposed to it, while pregnant - go to the doctor.

You have a desire to invade Poland........

Jon B beat me to the joke, so I guess I'll provide real info.

"Typical symptoms of rubella are a mild rash, swollen and tender glands (especially behind the ear and at the back of the head), and a slight fever. In addition, some adolescent girls and adult women develop joint pain (arthritis), especially in the small joints of the hands."

Look in the mirror, then you'll find out. i mean, why would you be asking this quetion if you didn't think something was wrong?

a slight rash all over and feel behind the ear lobes for swollen glands the size of a pea.
Get to a doctor to make sure...girls need to get german measles while they are young ...the reason why mothers expose their young daughters to it.......the German measles could blind your baby

rubella?? i think MMR vaccines are reliable. symptoms be
swollen glands or lymph nodes, low fever, rash (Appears on the face and then spreads to the trunk and limbs. It appears as pink dots under the skin. It appears on the first or third day of the illness but it disappears after a few days with no staining or peeling of the skin, sometimes u get small, red papules on the area of the soft palate. u may not get all these symptoms. maybe just one of these..
