接种疫苗
关于风疹（德国麻疹
何谓风疹？
风疹是种急性病毒性疾病。它会引起发烧和皮疹，在世界各地都有发生。
风疹如何传播？
风疹病毒是通过人与人的接触或受感染者的呼吸道液状分泌物进行传播。倘若妇女怀孕期间受感染，那么病毒可穿过胎盘感染胎儿。
我为什么要接种风疹疫苗？
如今医界仍没有治疗风疹的特定方法。风疹最重要及最严重的后果是妊娠早期感染。这些后果包括流产，胎儿死亡/死胎，并可能造成婴儿出生缺陷，如白内障，先天性心脏病以及听力障碍。我们建议公众都接受风疹疫苗接种，以预防疾病及进一步传播病毒。所有在生育年龄的妇女在计划怀孕前应对风疹免疫。
Points to Note:
Laboratory diagnostic tests are not perfect and are not 100% accurate
- We do not have a test for every disease or virus but most of those pathogens that are of public health importance or have long term implications on your health can be tested
- No one single test can be used with absolute certainty to diagnose a disease. Often, we depend on a combination of tests to make a diagnosis
- Sometimes, we have to resort to trial treatment or empiric treatment if investigative tests are inconclusive. If the patient makes a therapeutic response and feels better, we have achieved our goal
- In PUO, we are looking for treatable causes and to rule out sinister causes eg. malignancies so that we do not miss opportunities for early treatment or intervention
