Rubella - Prognosis



The vast majority of patients recover completely from rubella with no further complications. The greatest threat is to pregnant women in their first trimester (roughly the first three months of pregnancy). Fetuses carried by these women are at risk of being miscarried, stillborn, delivered with a low birth weight, or of developing birth defects.
