"Congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) can occur in a developing fetus of a pregnant woman who has contracted rubella, usually in the first trimester. If infection occurs 0–28 days before conception, the infant has a 43% risk of being affected. If the infection occurs 0–12 weeks after conception, the risk increases to 81%. If the infection occurs 13–26 weeks after conception, the risk is 54% of the infant being affected by the disease. Infants are not generally affected if rubella is contracted during the third trimester, or 26–40 weeks after conception. Problems rarely occur when rubella is contracted by the mother after 20 weeks of gestation and continues to disseminate the virus after birth. It was discovered in 1941 by Australian Norman McAlister Gregg. Signs and symptoms Infant with skin lesions from congenital rubella "Salt-and-pepper" retinopathy is characteristic of congenital rubella. Congenital rubella serology time-line The classic triad for congenital rubella syndrome is: *Sensorineural deafness (58% of patients) *Eye abnormalities—especially retinopathy, cataract, glaucoma, and microphthalmia (43% of patients) *Congenital heart disease—especially pulmonary artery stenosis and patent ductus arteriosus (50% of patients) Other manifestations of CRS may include: *Spleen, liver, or bone marrow problems (some of which may disappear shortly after birth) *Intellectual disability *Small head size (microcephaly) *Low birth weight *Thrombocytopenic purpura *Extramedullary hematopoiesis (presents as a characteristic blueberry muffin rash) *Enlarged liver *Small jaw size *Skin lesions Children who have been exposed to rubella in the womb should also be watched closely as they age for any indication of: *Developmental delay *Autism *Schizophrenia *Growth retardation *Learning disabilities *Diabetes mellitus Prevention Vaccinating the majority of the population is effective at preventing congenital rubella syndrome. For women who plan to become pregnant, the MMR (measles mumps, rubella) vaccination is highly recommended, at least 28 days prior to conception. The vaccine should not be given to women who are already pregnant as it contains a live version of the virus. Other preventative actions can include the screening and vaccinations of high-risk personnel, such as medical and child care professions.

He was a postgraduate student at the University of Manchester, where his MA thesis concerned the effects of television violence on young offenders. Finding himself jobless after graduation, he decided to train as a probation officer, like his father before him. Around this time he began writing poetry more seriously. He worked as a probation officer in Greater Manchester until 1994. Career His first poetry collection was called Human Geography (1988). He published Zoom! in 1989.

In May 2020 Armitage was the guest on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs. His choice of music (eight pieces to take to an imaginary desert island) was wide-ranging but the track he would save from a flood was David Bowie's "Moonage Daydream"; his chosen book was the Oxford English Dictionary, and his luxury a tennis ball. In April 2020, in a short interview on the BBC 6 Music show Guy Garvey's Finest Hour, Armitage chose the track "Stanlow" by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, taken from their 1980 album Organisation.

During what his wife Sue described as "a bit of a mid-life crisis", Armitage and his college friend Craig Smith founded the band The Scaremongers.
