What is a TORCH PANEL IgG & IgM?

The TORCH Panel IgG & IgM test is a blood test used to detect infections caused by Toxoplasmosis, Other (such as syphilis), Rubella, Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Herpes simplex virus (HSV). It measures both IgM antibodies, which indicate recent or active infection, and IgG antibodies, which reflect past exposure or immunity. Healthcare professionals often recommend this test during pregnancy to assess risks of congenital infections that may affect the fetus, enabling timely treatment, preventive measures, and better pregnancy management.
