Abstract The incidence of CRS and CRI has decreased markedly worldwide with the implementation of efficient vaccination programs. We report a congenital rubella case with fetal death occurred at 29th week of gestation. RV was confirmed in placenta. The results of phylogenetic analysis showed that the RVs/SaoPaulo01.‐ BRA/08.CRI belongs to the genotype 2B of RV. J. Med. Virol. 83:2048–2050, 2011. © 2011 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
