Description
TORCH IgG Test
The TORCH IgG Test is a blood test that detects IgG antibodies for a group of infections that can affect pregnancy and newborn health. TORCH stands for Toxoplasmosis, Other (such as syphilis), Rubella, Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Herpes simplex virus (HSV). The presence of IgG antibodies usually indicates a past infection or immunity.
Why This Test is Done:
-
Determine past exposure or immunity to TORCH infections
-
Assess risk of complications during pregnancy
-
Identify immunity to rubella or other infections before or during pregnancy
How It Works:
A blood sample is collected and analyzed for IgG antibodies to each infection in the TORCH panel. IgG indicates previous infection or vaccination-based immunity.
Sample Requirement: Blood sample
Reporting Time: 1–2 days
Helps ensure proper pregnancy care and protect newborn health.
