Rubéola era uma infecção viral comum na infância até o advento dos programas de imunização em massa. É caracterizada por exantema maculopapular de curta duração, linfadenopatia e febre leve: a maioria das infecções não está associada a morbidade significativa. A transmissão ocorre por inalação de secreções respiratórias infectadas ou por contato direto. A confirmação é feita pela identificação do vírus da rubéola em esfregaço nasal, esfregaço da garganta ou amostras de sangue, ou pela detecção de anticorpos IgM específicos contra o vírus da rubéola. Sua importância para a saúde pública reside em seu potencial de causar danos devastadores ao feto de uma mãe infectada (síndrome da rubéola congênita). | |||
