产后风疹是一种轻微的疾病，多年来一直被认为是次要的疾病。第一个将这种疾病与其他出疹疾病区别开来的作者是德国医生。他们在十八世纪下半叶将风疹与麻疹和猩红热区分开来，并将这种疾病称为罗塞尔恩病。因此，常见的英语名字是“德国麻疹”。有些人认为，德国麻疹中的“德语”一词可能具有文学意义，而不是地理意义，它来自古法语“germain”（源自拉丁语“germanus”），意思是“与麻疹非常相似”[1]。它通常不以德文名称 Rotheln 命名，这是由于苏格兰医生 Veale 于 1866 年在《爱丁堡医学杂志》上描述了 30 例风疹病例，并提出“rubella”作为一个简短且易于发音的名字 [2]。
Postnatal rubella is a mild illness, a disease which was considered to be of only minor importance for many years. The first authors to write about the disease as distinct from other exanthemata were German physicians; they differentiated rubella from measles and scarlet fever in the latter part of the eighteenth century and called the disease Rotheln. Hence the common English language eponym is ‘German measles’. Some consider that the term ‘German’ in German measles is probably of literary rather than of geographical significance and that it came from the old French ‘germain’ (derived from the Latin ‘germanus‘), meaning ‘closely akin to’ measles [1]. That it is not generally called by its German name, Rotheln, is due to Veale, a Scottish physician who in 1866 described 30 cases of rubella in the Edinburgh Medical Journal, and proposed ‘rubella’ as a short and euphonius name that could be easily pronounced [2].
