Congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) is a serious condition with a high rate of morbidity. It is currently a rare disorder, especially in developed countries, because of universal vaccination campaigns. However, it remains a public health concern in developing countries. Here, we report a case of congenital rubella syndrome in a mother who did not receive any prenatal care or had a known history of vaccination. He is a term male infant, and the infant's positive rubella IgM confirmed the diagnosis. The baby had a bilateral cataract, convulsions, Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)-related cardiomegaly, and bilateral hearing loss. The only known preventive measure for congenital rubella syndrome is vaccination. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
