Question
Hi, how can one determine congenital rubella and cerebral palsy? Are there any effective treatment methods? Please give me some advice from a doctor.
Answer
If rubella-specific IgM is detected in the newborn’s serum, or if there is no rubella infection after birth and the serum rubella IgM antibody remains in large quantities for 5 to 6 months, it can be proven that the infant is a congenital rubella baby. Intellectual, behavioral, and motor developmental disorders are also major characteristics of congenital rubella. This early developmental disorder is caused by rubella encephalitis and may lead to permanent mental developmental delay.
