Which of the following children's diseases can be dangerous if you are pregnant?

Rubella

Explanation

The virus disease rubella, commonly known as German measles, is particularly dangerous if you are pregnant. Symptoms include fever, a pink rash and swollen lymph nodes. If you get infected the first three months of a pregnancy, it can lead to serious malformations of the brain, eyes and heart of the baby. Some people get the disease in a very mild form so that a diagnosis can not be made. Today, most people get vaccinated against rubella.
