Question :
My second daughter, who is 28 months old now, is currently infected with German Measles "GM". She started with fever, running rose, cough and her fever did not go off until the rashes/red patches appeared. This is the third time she is down with the GM. The first time in July 2000 (she was 8 months old then) and second time in May 2001 (she was 18 months old then) . My querry is : (1) What is the reason for the recurrence of the GM ? She had her MMR vaccination at 16 months old. Any prevention for the recurrence ? (2) My youngest son (16 months old) is now developing the same synptoms as my 2nd daughter had: running nose, cough, fever which will come back after the fever medicine subside. Is he going to have GM? He was vaccinated with MMR at 13 months old. Please advise.
Answer
German measles is a viral fever that usually occurs only once and not repeatedly. Also along with the rash, the predominant feature of German Measles is enlarged glands and arthralgia. Please go through the article on GERMAN MEASLES on KIDS CORNER on www.pediatriconcall.com or from the link given below: http://www.pediatriconcall.com/KidsCorner/commonill/german_measles.asp

There are other viral infections that come with fever and rash which may be mistook for measles or german measles. Also since your daughter is immunised for MMR, it is unlikely that she has german measles. Consult your doctor to come to the correct diagnosis.
