Rubella

Step-by-step explanation:

Rubella is an infectious disease caused by a virus referred to as rubivirus, which can be spread from pregnant women to their unborn children through the bloodstream. During the first trimester of pregnancy, rubella can cause the death of the developing fetus (i.e., miscarriage) or serious birth defects such as, for example, heart defects, cataracts, deafness, mental incapacities, etc. Rubella symptoms include, among others, rash, joint pain, swollen lymph glands (especially behind the ears), headache, and mild fever.
