Rubella (German measles) is a viral infection that can cause serious birth defects if contracted during pregnancy. It can cause deafness, blindness, heart defects, and brain damage in the developing fetus. Mercury exposure can also cause harm, but typically targets the nervous system rather than heart defects. Syphilis and radiation can also harm the developing fetus, but are less likely to cause the specific set of problems described in the scenario.
