Rubeola: Another name for Measles.
Rubeola (condition): Once common viral infection now rare due to vaccination.
Rubeola: Measles, mumps, and rubella were once very common diseases in the
United States, but they have become rare because of the use of
vaccines to prevent them. As with many other diseases, measles,
mumps, and rubella generally are more severe in adults than in
children. Most adults are immune to all three infections because
they had them (or a vaccine) as children.1
