Measles is transmitted directly by coughing or sneezing, or indirectly by contact with the nasal or respiratory secretions of an infected person perhaps by way of clothing or objects that the person handled. The symptoms appear about ten days after exposure and include rash, high fever, cough, runny nose and watery eyes.
Symptoms begin to appear two to three weeks after exposure to the rubella virus.
German measles usually lasts only three days and is characterized by slight fever, rash and swollen glands in the neck. Since rubella is often a mild illness, you may not recall whether or not you had the disease as a child. The most serious effects of these diseases occur in pregnant women. Measles can cause a woman to have a miscarriage or to give birth prematurely. German measles is even more dangerous.
