The Rénarub network, established in 1976, aims to conduct a nationwide survey of rubella infections occurring during pregnancy and congenital rubella syndrome and, more broadly, to assess the impact of vaccination policies and preventive measures implemented in France with a view to eliminating congenital rubella. This article describes the cases recorded in 2001: the clinical status of newborns and fetuses based on pregnancy outcome, characteristics of infected pregnant women, and cases preventable by postpartum vaccination.
