Rubella virus
Rubella virus can lead to arthritis, brain inflammation and internal bleeding. The main objective of rubella vaccination is to prevent rubella syndrome in newborns. In newborns rubella infection may damage all organs leading to congenital defects (deafness, eye defects, heart defects and nerve abnormality) that may not show up for two to four years. Rubella may also lead to fetal death, spontaneous abortion and premature delivery.
