Congenital rubella syndrome medical therapy

There is no specific medical treatment for congenital rubella syndrome.^[1]

There is no medical treatment for infants diagnosed with congenital rubella syndrome, neither for pregnant women infected with rubella.^[1] Most complications arising as a result are managed surgically. However, prenatal management of mothers infected with rubella depends on the gestational age at the onset of infection:^[2]

• Before 18 weeks of gestation: termination of the pregnancy should be discussed, as chances of fetal complications are high
• After 18 weeks of gestation: pregnancy can be continued and closely monitored through serial ultrasound
