Disease relevance of Rubella Syndrome, Congenital

A high incidence of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) has been reported in children and young adults previously afflicted with congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) [1].
Control of rubella and congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) in developing countries, Part 1: Burden of disease from CRS [2].

High impact information on Rubella Syndrome, Congenital

Among the six fetuses with serologic evidence of congenital infection, one had congenital rubella syndrome with sensorineural deafness, two were terminated during the second trimester, two others were normal, and one was lost to follow-up [3].
Improved dysgammaglobulinaemia in congenital rubella syndrome after immunoglobulin therapy: correlation with CD154 expression [4].
We analyzed cases of congenital rubella syndrome in infants born from 1970 to 1985 and reported to either one of two independent Centers for Disease Control surveillance systems [5].
At least 10 children with the congenital rubella syndrome have been seen in the Cape Town group of teaching hospitals in a 5 1/2-year period since October 1971 [6].

Biological context of Rubella Syndrome, Congenital

CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell clones from congenital rubella syndrome patients with IDDM recognize overlapping GAD65 protein epitopes. Implications for HLA class I and II allelic linkage to disease susceptibility [7].
