Blood tests for TORCH infections
TORCH infection blood tests
We conduct laboratory blood tests for TORCH infections, a group of infections particularly significant when planning pregnancy and during gestation. The examination includes tests for:
- Toxoplasmosis (Toxoplasma gondii)
- Rubella
- Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
- Herpes Simplex Virus types 1/2 (HSV-1/2)
- If indicated — Parvovirus B19, Varicella-Zoster Virus, syphilis, hepatitis viruses, etc.; upon request — measles testing
What the examination includes:
- Serology (IgM and IgG) — helps assess the presence of immunity and possible active infection phase.
- IgG avidity test (if indicated) — clarifies the duration of infection, important during pregnancy.
- PCR diagnostics in blood (as prescribed by a doctor) — to confirm active replication of the pathogen.
The interpretation of results is conducted by a doctor, taking into account symptoms, pregnancy term, ultrasound data, and more. The presence of IgG antibodies often indicates established immunity and does not mean an active infection; a positive IgM requires additional confirmation (retesting, IgG avidity, PCR).
