In the Ryukyu Islands of Japan, an extensive epidemic of rubella occurred from the end of 1964 until the beginning of 1965. Approximately 400 children with congenital rubella syndrome were born in 1965 [1]. Two boys with unusual associated problems are reported in this paper. One case was complicated with leukemia and the other with Chilaiditi's syndrome.
