Overview
Infants with congenital rubella syndrome should be placed in isolation during their hospital stay. In addition, appropriate measures should be taken to ensure that all healthcare workers and caregivers of the infected child are immune to rubella.[1]
Secondary Prevention
Once an infant has been diagnosed with congenital rubella syndrome, the following precautionary measures should be taken into account:[1]
- During the duration of the hospital stay, the infant should be isolated (i.e.: droplet and contact isolation)
- All hospital contacts and caregivers of infant with congenital rubella syndrome should be ensured that they are immune to rubella virus
- Because infants with congenital rubella syndrome are infectious for at least a period of 12 months, they may pose a risk for unimmunized children and pregnant women
- Seronegative women should be offered the MMR vaccine in the postpartum period to reduce the risk of rubella infection and congenital rubella syndrome in subsequent pregnancies.[2]
