AB Rubella  was  historically  viewed  as  a  variant  of  measles  or  scarlet  fever.  Not  until  1962  was  a  separate  viral  agent  for  rubella  isolated.  After  an  epidemic  of  rubella  in  Australia  in  the  early  1940s,  the  ophthalmologist  Norman  Gregg  noticed  the  occurrence  of  congenital  cataracts  among  infants  whose  mothers  had  reported  rubella  infection  during  early  pregnancy,  and  congenital  rubella  syndrome  (CRS;  see  “Clinical  Manifestations,”  below)  was  first  described.
