Is The Ross River Virus Infection Considered Dangerous During Pregnancy?
My daughter is 12 weeks pregnant and she has been diagnosed (by her doctor) as having contracted Ross River Virus. She went to Thailand 2 weeks ago. My daughter did have a rash all over her stomach and legs and is very tired all the time. I am very worried about her and her baby. Will this effect her baby? Thanks heaps. Kerry

Ross River virus is both the name of a virus, and the name of a condition caused by a virus. The condition is also known as Ross River fever. Symptoms include fever, rash and joint pain. Most people recover in a few weeks, but symptoms can continue for months.
