What is a TORCH PANEL IgG?

The TORCH Panel IgG test is a blood test that measures IgG antibodies against infections such as Toxoplasmosis, Rubella, Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Herpes simplex virus (HSV). Unlike IgM, which indicates recent infection, IgG reflects past exposure or immunity, showing whether the body has previously encountered these pathogens. Healthcare professionals often recommend this test during pregnancy to assess maternal immunity and evaluate risks of congenital infections, helping guide preventive measures and ensuring better protection for both mother and baby.
