A TORCH panel is a group of blood tests that screen for several infections that can cause congenital infections (infections passed from a pregnant person to their fetus). The acronym TORCH stands for Toxoplasmosis, Other (including syphilis, varicella-zoster, parvovirus B19), Rubella, Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Herpes simplex virus (HSV). When referring to a TORCH panel with 10 parameters, it typically means that the panel includes tests for specific antibodies (IgM and IgG) for each of these infections, as well as possibly other related tests. Here's a breakdown of the 10 parameters commonly measured: 1. **Toxoplasmosis IgM** 2. **Toxoplasmosis IgG** 3. **Rubella IgM** 4. **Rubella IgG** 5. **Cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgM** 6. **Cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgG** 7. **Herpes simplex virus (HSV) IgM** 8. **Herpes simplex virus (HSV) IgG** Additionally, the "Other" category can include tests for infections like: 9. **Syphilis (Treponema pallidum) antibodies** 10. **Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) antibodies** or **Parvovirus B19 antibodies** **Test Interpretation:** - **IgM Antibodies:** Presence of IgM antibodies typically indicates a recent or active infection. - **IgG Antibodies:** Presence of IgG antibodies indicates past exposure and immunity to the infection. The TORCH panel helps in identifying infections that could potentially harm the developing fetus, allowing for timely intervention and management.
