What is another word for German Measles?
Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˈɜːmən mˈiːsə͡lz] (IPA) 
German measles, also known as rubella, is a highly contagious viral infection caused by the rubella virus. It is a common childhood illness that generally causes a mild rash, fever, and swollen glands. The term "German measles" is a misnomer because the disease is not related to measles, which is a different viral infection. Rubella is also known as three-day measles, which reflects the typical length of its symptoms. Other synonyms for rubella include epidemic roseola, third disease, and low measles. It is important to note that rubella can lead to serious complications in pregnant women and their unborn fetuses, so vaccination and prevention are essential.
