It is characterized by a short prodromal period, low fever, rash, and enlargement of lymph nodes behind the ears and at the back of the head.

If a pregnant woman is infected with the rubella virus in the early stage, although the clinical symptoms are mild, the virus can infect the fetus through the placental barrier.
