Certainly! Here is a detailed step-by-step explanation and matching for the illnesses described in the task:
Step 1: Understand the words related to illnesses
Words given: allergic reaction, inflammation, blister, cough, fever, infectious, malformation, malaise, rash, resistance, itchy, runny nose, sneeze, spot, swelling
We focus on the descriptions and match them with the illness names.
Step 2: Match the descriptions to the illnesses
1. "An infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract with fever and allergic rhinitis, muscular aches, which is transmitted by a virus and can occur in epidemics."

2. "A common infectious viral disease of children, with mild fever, swollen lymph nodes and a rash. It can cause stillbirth or malformation of an unborn baby if the mother catches the disease while pregnant."
Explanation:
- Viral disease in children
- Mild fever, rash, swollen lymph nodes
- Can harm unborn babies if pregnant women are infected
Matching illness:
Rubella
Reason: Rubella (German measles) causes rash, mild fever, swollen lymph nodes, and can cause malformations during pregnancy.
3. "An illness with inflammation of the nasal passages, in which someone sneezes and coughs and has a blocked and running nose."
