Now let’s take a detailed look at the differences between rubella and eczema. I hope everyone can have a more comprehensive understanding of this issue.

Rubella and eczema are actually skin diseases caused by skin problems. Generally, itching or redness and swelling will occur, so this problem needs to be treated. I hope everyone can have a more comprehensive understanding of this problem in life.

Rubella diagnostic criteria:

1. Suspected cases have fever, and 1 to 2 days later develop a red maculopapular rash, swollen lymph nodes behind the ears, under the jaw, and in the neck, or are accompanied by joint pain.

2. Confirmed cases

① There is a history of obvious contact with rubella patients within 2 to 3 weeks.

②Has received live measles vaccine within 8 years.

③The total white blood cell count in peripheral blood decreased, while the lymphocyte count increased.

④The pathogenic or serological test results are positive.

Clinical diagnosis: suspected cases plus items ① or ① and ② or ③ in confirmed cases.

Diagnostic criteria for eczema:

The diagnosis is relatively easy based mainly on the medical history and clinical manifestations. The rash of acute eczema is polymorphic, symmetrically distributed, and tends to exude; the chronic type of skin lesions are lichenified; the acute lesions are between the above two.

The patient feels severe itching and is prone to relapse. For special types of eczema, attention should be paid to its unique clinical symptoms, and diagnosis is not difficult. Chronic eczema needs to be differentiated from neurodermatitis, in which itching occurs first and then the rash develops. Lichenification is obvious, the lesions are dry, generally without exudation and pigmentation. It often occurs in the neck, sacrum and extensor side of the limbs. It can tolerate a variety of drugs and physical and chemical stimulations.

Whether it is rubella or eczema, it will have adverse effects on patients, especially when there is severe itching and unbearable pain on the skin, which will have an adverse impact on their lives. Therefore, we must pay attention to timely acceptance of some examinations and scientific response and treatment.
