A seminar on measles and rubella, covering epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, was held at the Nazran Central District Hospital.
Specialists discussed the causes of the infection, clinical manifestations, and potential complications.
Particular attention was paid to the risks of rubella: infection during pregnancy can lead to severe congenital malformations in the fetus, including hearing, vision, and heart damage.
Modern diagnostic methods—PCR and serological testing—were discussed, as were algorithms for healthcare workers to follow when identifying suspected cases.
The need for strict adherence to anti-epidemic measures was emphasized.
Special emphasis was placed on the importance of vaccination and revaccination as the primary preventative measure against measles and rubella.
