Rubella with neurological complications - what does this mean
Rubella with neurological complications is a rare but serious complication of rubella infection that can occur when the rubella virus affects the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves. it can cause a range of neurological symptoms such as seizures, hearing loss, paralysis, and mental retardation.
What happens during the disease - rubella with neurological complications
Rubella is caused by an rna virus that is spread through contact with an infected person. the virus invades the body and replicates within the cells of the respiratory tract, leading to a systemic infection. this can lead to neurological complications such as encephalitis, meningitis, and guillain-barré syndrome. the neurological symptoms are caused by the virus directly damaging the central nervous system, as well as the body's immune response to the infection, which can lead to inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.
