What Does TORCH Stand For?

TORCH refers to a group of infections:

• T – Toxoplasmosis
• O – Other infections
• R – Rubella
• C – Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
• H – Herpes simplex virus (HSV)

The exact infections included under the “Other” category can vary depending on the laboratory and test profile.

Why Is the TORCH Test Done?

TORCH testing may be recommended when a doctor is evaluating certain infections that could affect pregnancy.

Depending on the clinical situation, testing may be considered for:

• Pregnancy evaluation
• Certain pregnancy complications
• Recurrent pregnancy loss
• Suspected infection during pregnancy
• Certain abnormalities detected during pregnancy
• Evaluation of specific symptoms in a newborn

A doctor decides whether TORCH testing is appropriate based on the individual’s circumstances.

TORCH Test During Pregnancy

Some infections can cross from the mother to the developing baby during pregnancy and may cause complications.

However, TORCH antibodies can be complicated to interpret. A positive antibody result does not always mean that there is a current infection. Doctors may consider whether antibodies are IgG or IgM, along with symptoms, timing and other investigations.

What Are IgG and IgM?

TORCH profiles commonly test for IgG and/or IgM antibodies.

IgG

IgG antibodies may indicate previous exposure or immunity, depending on the specific infection and clinical context.

IgM

IgM antibodies can sometimes be associated with a more recent infection, but they can also produce misleading results in some situations. A positive IgM result may therefore require additional evaluation or confirmatory testing.

TORCH Infections

Toxoplasmosis

Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Infection can occur through several routes, including exposure to contaminated food or soil.

Rubella

Rubella is a viral infection that can be particularly concerning during pregnancy because infection can affect the developing baby.

Cytomegalovirus

CMV is a common viral infection. Most healthy people have few or no symptoms, but infection during pregnancy can sometimes affect the fetus.

Herpes Simplex Virus

HSV can cause oral or genital herpes. Transmission to a newborn can occur around the time of delivery in certain circumstances.

Does Everyone Need a TORCH Test?

Not necessarily. TORCH testing is not automatically required for every pregnancy. Your doctor may recommend specific infection tests based on your symptoms, medical history, pregnancy findings and exposure risks.

In some situations, testing for an individual infection may be more appropriate than ordering a complete TORCH profile.

Is Fasting Required for the TORCH Test?

Usually, fasting is not required for a TORCH blood test.

However, preparation can depend on the exact profile being performed and any additional tests ordered at the same time. Follow the instructions provided by your doctor or diagnostic laboratory.

How Is the TORCH Test Done?

The TORCH profile is performed using a blood sample. A small amount of blood is collected from a vein and sent to the laboratory for analysis.

Depending on the laboratory profile, multiple antibodies may be tested.
