Test Overview & Methodology
The TORCH Multiplex Detection and Differentiation (RNA) Qualitative Test simultaneously screens for viral RNA from Toxoplasma gondii, rubella, cytomegalovirus, and herpes simplex virus using multiplex real-time PCR (qPCR) with confirmatory whole genome sequencing when needed. This advanced molecular test is recommended for screening during pregnancy, evaluating congenital infections, or investigating unexplained febrile illness.

| Turnaround Time | 2 – 4 working days (email & telephone) | 5 – 7 working days |
| Diagnostic Sensitivity | >99.9% (ISO-validated) | 85 – 90% for acute infection |
| Price in UAE | 1,300 AED | 800 – 1,000 AED |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a practicing general practitioner in Dubai (DHA license 36234132), I want to emphasize that while this advanced RNA test offers exceptional sensitivity, it must always be interpreted alongside your full clinical picture. A positive result is not a diagnosis on its own; false-positive reactions can occur. Please discuss all results with your treating doctor before making any therapeutic decisions.”
— Dr. Ajay Singh, General Practitioner

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is a TORCH Multiplex RNA test, and when is it recommended?
A: This advanced molecular assay detects viral RNA of TORCH infections. It is recommended for screening during pregnancy, evaluating suspected congenital infections, or investigating unexplained febrile illness in immunocompromised patients.
2. How is the sample collected, and is it painful?
A: Sample collection is performed in an accredited hospital or clinic. A sterile blood draw (peripheral whole blood) is taken; for certain indications, amniotic fluid may be collected by a specialist. The procedure is minimally painful with standard precautions.
3. How long until I receive results, and how will I get them?
A: You will receive a secure email with your results within 4 working days. A dedicated clinical counsellor will call you to explain the findings and answer any questions.
