The TORCH IgG Test is a blood test that detects IgG antibodies specific to the pathogens in the TORCH group of infections. IgG is a type of antibody produced by the immune system in response to a past infection. The TORCH panel includes infections that can be passed from mother to fetus during pregnancy, potentially causing birth defects, miscarriage, or stillbirth. The IgG test helps to determine if a person has been previously exposed to these infections, indicating immunity or past infection.

    Description

    Why It’s Done:
    The TORCH IgG Test is primarily used to:
    • Determine immunity: To identify if a person has been previously exposed to a specific TORCH pathogen and is likely immune to it. This is particularly important for pregnant women to assess if they are at risk of infecting the fetus.
    • Screen for past infections: To assess whether a person has had a past infection with one or more of the TORCH pathogens.
    • Guide treatment decisions: For pregnant women or individuals at risk of these infections, identifying past exposure can help guide medical decisions and pregnancy management.

    Sample Collection:
    • A blood sample is drawn from a vein in the arm.
    • The blood is then tested for the presence of IgG antibodies to the TORCH pathogens.
