Embryopathy Rubella

Content -------

Pathology is understood as undesirable changes in the parameters of the embryo, leading to disruption of its further development.

Embryopathy with rubella is a serious consequence of the infectious process:

Hematogenous disruption of the formation of fetal structures and systems or underdevelopment of the hepatobiliary system; Pathology of blood vessels and biliary tract; Low body weight as a result of the growth of degenerative processes in the liver parenchyma, etc. The exact reason for these deviations has not been fully elucidated. At the moment, rubella is considered as a trigger factor for failure of placenta formation and as a slow, acute infectious disease of the fetus that develops in utero as a result of a mother's Toxoplasma infection or congenital rubella syndrome. Autoimmune disorders are also possible due to erythroblastosis fetalis. The diagnosis of embryopathy is made in the last weeks of pregnancy using ultrasound. It is examined by a general practitioner, pediatric gynecologist or family doctor.
