Mums has been associated with sterility in males as has german measles(female) in cases of physical intellectual birth defects. when i started my nursing back in the early 1970s i saw a lot of severely handicapped people from this but with advent of vaccines etc and immunisation programmes ,plus advances in neonatal medicine its not as common in the modern era
