Wednesday, may 2, 1079 Rubella outbreak touches campus; not an epidemic By Bob Lannin There has been an outbreak of rubella in Lincoln, but UNL students do not need to worry, according to Dr. Garland Bare, University Health Center Medical Director. The disease is being considered an outbreak in Lincoln, although it has not reached epidemic proportions. The situation is worse in southcentral, southeastern, and eastern Nebraska, according to Carol Jess, assistant direc tor of public relations for Bryan Memorial Hospital. Anita Dover, preventible disease control supervisor for the City-County Health Department, said her office re ceived reports of the disease from various areas in Ne braska and had laboratory confirmation on a few cases, but the disease has not reached epidemic proportions. Biggest danger "I think we're still calling it an outbreak, but we're definitely seeing some rubella," Dover said . Bare said the biggest danger of rubella is for women in die first three months of pregnancy, who run a 2040 percent chance of congenital birth defects.. Bare said rubella is a mild infection for most others, usually characterized by a sore throat, fever, enlarged neck glands and the break out of a rash. v Jess Said in some cases arthritis symptoms break out two weeks after the rash disappears. Bare said anyone who hasn't had rubella is susceptible, but because of the mildness of the disease, "it is no concern for university students.' Check itout , Bare said the health center has seen about 30 cases of rubella, and said students can check with the health center to see whether they have had the disease or are immune to it. Dr. Richard Hammer, a Lincoln pediatrician, reported four cases of rubella. Jess said Bryan Hospital reported a few cases, but only one case was confirmed. Paul Stoesz, Director of Disease Control Division of the Nebraska State Health Department, said it was hard to pinpoint an exact number of cases, because of the possibility that some cases have not been reported. It's a matter of suspect cases versus confirmed cases," Stoecz said. Jess said that in a 1964 rubella epidemic, more than 250,000 nationwide birth defects were reported as a result of the disease. flPMpaWMMmaja , U I 0 Xg. 11 IG NEW; mm 5x7 ENLARGEMENT Willi iwy toW d KodKOtor JL 110. 1. and 135 Mm daveiofwd and printed Orltraxptrw 1tayl.lf)7 Tha Film Shop f .'cbrsca Bookstore 24 hour ssrvica on pcpula color print film. 1 1 . r,f-i
