Test Details:
The TORCH panel IgG & IgM extended test is a blood test that checks for antibodies against various infectious agents that can cause congenital infections in newborns. TORCH stands for Toxoplasma, Rubella, Cytomegalovirus, and Herpes simplex virus. The extended panel includes additional infections such as Parvovirus B19, Varicella-zoster virus, and Epstein-Barr virus. The test detects both IgG and IgM antibodies, which are produced by the immune system in response to an infection. IgG antibodies indicate a past or previous infection, while IgM antibodies suggest a recent or active infection.
This test is typically ordered for pregnant women, especially if they have been exposed to any of the TORCH infections or if there are concerns about potential fetal abnormalities. It helps determine if the mother has been previously infected or is currently infected, as this can impact the health of the fetus. It is important to note that a positive result does not necessarily mean that the fetus will be affected, but further testing and monitoring may be required.
It is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider for interpretation of test results and appropriate management.
