What is TORCH Panel (Prenatal Infections)?

Screens for infections dangerous during pregnancy: Toxoplasma, Rubella, CMV, and Herpes (TORCH). These infections can cause birth defects if acquired during pregnancy.

Why is this test important?

IgG antibodies indicate past infection/immunity. IgM antibodies suggest recent or active infection requiring urgent follow-up. Ideally tested before conception or early in pregnancy.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required. Ideally test before pregnancy or at first prenatal visit.
