Torch Panel IgG Test

The Torch IgG Test serves as a crucial prenatal screening tool that detects IgG antibodies against Toxoplasma, Rubella, Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV 1 & 2). Pregnant women who have these infections risk transmitting them to the fetus which increases the risk potential of birth defects, miscarriage alongside various other serious health complications.

Health professionals recommend this test both during the early stage of pregnancy and in case of recurrent miscarriages to identify infections  and initiate timely medical intervention.

Toxoplasma IgG

This test identifies whether an individual has previously been exposed to the Toxoplasma gondii parasite found in undercooked meat and cat feces. The presence of IgG antibodies suggests established immunity to the infection thus reducing the risk of transmission of infection to the baby.

Rubella IgG

Assess immunity for Rubella (German measles). A positive IgG report indicates that the person has previously experienced Rubella infection or received successful vaccination, offering protection against congenital abnormalities caused by Rubella during pregnancy.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgG

The test verifies a previous CMV infection although most cases of CMV  often cause no symptoms in healthy individuals, except when a woman is pregnant. The detection of IgG antibodies helps healthcare providers to determine whether the individual already has developed immunity against the disease.

HSV 1 & 2 IgG (Herpes Simplex Virus)

The test reveals a history of HSV infections in patients. A positive test result indicates prior infection with the virus which lowers the risk of serious complications affecting childbirth.
