Introduction
Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS), including manifestations present at birth, cardiac malformations, deafness, ocular defects, and others. CRS results from maternal rubella infection during early pregnancy; the rubella virus crosses the placenta and infects the fetus, leading to congenital fetal abnormalities. The damage caused by CRS is typically progressive or permanent; aside from a few transient manifestations, no specific treatment is currently available.

Congenital rubella is relatively common in daily life, primarily occurring when a woman contracts rubella during early pregnancy, leading to congenital fetal malformations. What constitutes congenital rubella syndrome?
      Components of Congenital Rubella Syndrome
      Congenital rubella syndrome encompasses manifestations present at birth, including cardiac malformations, sensorineural deafness, and ocular defects.
      Congenital rubella syndrome results from maternal rubella infection during early pregnancy; the rubella virus crosses the placenta to infect the fetus, causing congenital malformations. The damage caused by congenital rubella syndrome is typically progressive or permanent; aside from a few transient manifestations, no specific treatment is currently available. Rubella virus is a respiratory virus with relatively low environmental resistance, transmitted primarily via airborne droplets. Rubella can occur year-round but shows higher incidence rates in spring.
