...plans apply only to the common "seven-day" measles, or rubeola-not to be confused with the three-day "German" measles or rubella, for which a vaccine has not yet been perfected. Though rubella early in pregnancy has gained an evil reputation as a killer and crippler of the unborn, it is otherwise a mild and almost harmless infection. Not so with common measles. "Of all the childhood diseases that remain," says Dr. H. Bruce Dull of the National Communicable Disease Center, "measles is the one with the most risk...

Enthusiastically they reported that there is no reason why the test should not always be 100% accurate. Then they quickly added a word of caution. Since obtaining a sample of the amniotic fluid...
...drugs are not too much unlike thalidomide," explained Bonnie's urologist, Dr. Joseph Kaufman. Even though the transplanted kidney continued to work well all through Bonnie's pregnancy-a difficult period even for healthy kidneys-the drugs' toxicity might well have done irreparable damage to her unborn child.
