KA62.8

ICD-11 MMS 2026-01

Congenital rubella syndrome

Description

A disease caused by an infection with the rubella virus in utero. This disease presents with symptoms depending on the timing of infection of the fetus and may present with birth defects (such as hearing loss), or intrauterine growth retardation. Transmission is by vertical transmission. Confirmation is by identification of rubella virus or detection of anti-rubella virus IgM antibodies in the neonate or infant.

Coding note from above levels

Conditions arising in the perinatal period, even though death or morbidity occurs later, should, as far as possible, be coded to chapter 19, which takes precedence over chapters containing codes for diseases by their anatomical site. For children less than 28 days old, assume that a reported condition developed in the perinatal period, unless the duration is stated and the onset was after the first completed week of life.
