Women who are pregnant are prone to infections which could affect the fetus. So, determining these infections at the initial stage will give a good chance of a healthy pregnancy.

The TORCH Profile IgG test is a vital blood test that helps to determine past exposure to specific infections that may affect during pregnancy.

What is the TORCH Profile IgG Test?

The TORCH Profile IgG Test is a blood test used to detect past exposure to infections that may affect a pregnant woman and her unborn baby.

TORCH stands for a group of infections:

  • R – it stands for Rubella
  • C – it stands for Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
  • H – it stands for Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV)

The IgG antibodies help to identify past specific infections. When the body gets infected it releases IgG antibodies as an early immune response. These antibodies may stay for 1 to 2 months after recovering from infections.

This test is very vital during pregnancy because some of these infections can cause miscarriage and birth defects if not detected early.
