Pregnancy is one of the most important stages in a woman’s life. Preventing and detecting infections that may impact the pregnancy or the baby’s health is of utmost importance.
The TORCH Panel is a specialized set of blood tests, used internationally, to screen for specific infections which often remain silent in the mother but can cause severe complications for the fetus.
📌 What does the TORCH Panel include?
⬩ Toxoplasma gondii: a parasitic infection transmitted mainly through undercooked meat or contact with cats. During pregnancy, it may lead to miscarriage or congenital malformations.
⬩ Rubella: a viral infection that, if contracted during pregnancy, can cause congenital rubella syndrome, leading to heart, eye, and neurological defects.
⬩ CMV (Cytomegalovirus): usually asymptomatic, yet may result in serious neurological and developmental issues in the baby.
⬩ HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus): can cause complications during pregnancy or childbirth and may be transmitted to the newborn.
