A member asked:
Is rubella part of the red measles family?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not sure of meaning: Rubella is one of the classic childhood illnesses producing a rash, but having never heard the term "red measles family" it is difficult to comment on. Measles is caused by a different virus.
