Rubella is typically a mild illness in adults and often goes unnoticed or presents with only mild symptoms. It is more severe if contracted by pregnant women, as it can cause serious birth defects in the fetus. Rubeola (also known as measles) typically presents with fever, cough, and rash in children and can lead to complications in some cases, but most patients recover without issues. Congenital rubella is most serious if contracted during the first trimester of pregnancy, and least serious if contracted during the third trimester.
