| Abstract: | German measles is also known as rubella, which is derived from Latin, meaning ‘little red.’ Rubella was initially considered to be a variant of measles or scarlet fever and was called ‘3rd disease’. It was not until 1814 that it was first described as a separate disease in the German medical literature, hence the common name ‘German measles’. The virus is an enveloped, positive-stranded RNA virus classified as a Rubivirus in the Togaviridae family. |
