Understanding the Torch (IGG, IGM) Test
The TORCH Test is a blood test that helps check for certain infections that may be important during pregnancy and newborn care. These infections include toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, and some other infections that may affect the health of the mother or baby.
These infections may not always cause serious symptoms in adults. However, during pregnancy, some infections can pass from the mother to the baby and may affect the baby’s development. Doctors may recommend the TORCH Test when they need to check whether a pregnant woman or newborn has been exposed to these infections.
The test usually checks for IgG and IgM antibodies in the blood. Antibodies are proteins made by the immune system when the body comes in contact with an infection. IgM antibodies may suggest a recent infection, while IgG antibodies may suggest past exposure or immunity. With MAX@Home, the TORCH Test can be done at home through safe blood sample collection by a trained phlebotomist.
Torch (IGG, IGM) Test Measures
A TORCH profile test checks blood markers linked to infections that may affect pregnancy or newborn health. It helps doctors assess recent or past exposure. It helps assess:
- Toxoplasmosis Antibodies: Checks for antibodies related to toxoplasmosis, an infection that may be important during pregnancy.
- Rubella Antibodies: Helps check for rubella exposure or immunity, especially in women who are pregnant or planning pregnancy.
- Cytomegalovirus Antibodies: Checks for markers related to cytomegalovirus, also called CMV, which may sometimes affect newborn health.
- Herpes Simplex Virus Markers: Helps assess exposure to herpes simplex virus when included in the test profile.
- IgM Antibodies: May suggest a recent or active infection. If IgM is positive, the doctor may advise further tests to confirm the result.
- IgG Antibodies: May suggest past exposure, previous infection, or immunity. Doctors usually interpret IgG results along with IgM levels, symptoms, and pregnancy history.
- Other Infection Markers: May include other infection-related markers depending on the test profile and the doctor’s advice.

When is the TORCH Test Recommended?
A doctor may recommend a TORCH Test when there is a need to check for infections that may affect pregnancy or newborn health. The test is usually advised based on symptoms, pregnancy history, newborn health concerns, or clinical findings. A doctor may recommend the TORCH Test:
- During pregnancy: When there are symptoms such as fever, rash, swollen glands, body ache, or unexplained illness.
- In case of pregnancy complications: When there is a history of miscarriage, stillbirth, recurrent pregnancy loss, or previous pregnancy-related problems.
- After abnormal ultrasound findings: When an ultrasound shows concerns such as slow foetal growth or other signs that may need infection screening.
- For newborn evaluation: When a baby has symptoms such as jaundice, low birth weight, skin rash, seizures, feeding difficulty, or an enlarged liver or spleen.
- After possible infection exposure: When a pregnant woman may have been exposed to infections such as rubella, toxoplasmosis, cytomegalovirus, or herpes simplex virus.
- Before or during pregnancy: When a doctor wants to check past exposure or immunity to certain infections, especially in women planning pregnancy or already pregnant.
How to Prepare for the TORCH Test
A TORCH Test is a simple blood test. It usually does not need any special preparation, but patients should follow the doctor’s instructions before giving the sample.
Before the Test
Fasting is generally not required for the TORCH Test unless the doctor advises it. Patients should inform the doctor about pregnancy status, recent fever or infection, vaccination history, previous pregnancy complications, current medicines, and any possible exposure to infectious diseases.
During the Test
A trained phlebotomist collects a small blood sample from a vein in the arm using a sterile, single-use needle. The process usually takes only a few minutes and may cause slight discomfort, similar to a small pinch.
After the Test
After the sample is collected, it is labelled and sent to the laboratory for testing. Patients can usually continue their normal routine after the blood sample is taken. The report should be reviewed by a doctor to understand what the results mean.
Understanding TORCH Test Results
TORCH panel tests show whether certain antibodies or infection markers are present in the blood. These results help doctors understand whether an infection may be recent, past, or whether the body may have developed immunity.
| Result | What it May Indicate |
| IgM Positive | May suggest a recent or active infection. The doctor may advise further tests to confirm the result. |
| IgG Positive | May suggest past exposure, previous infection, or immunity. |
| IgM Negative and IgG Negative | May suggest that no antibodies were detected at the time of testing. |
| Both IgM and IgG Positive | May need further evaluation to understand whether the infection is recent, past, or reactivated. |
| Abnormal TORCH Profile | May suggest the need for further medical review, especially during pregnancy or newborn evaluation. |
TORCH Test results should always be reviewed by a doctor. A positive result does not always mean the baby is affected, and a negative result does not always rule out a very recent infection. Doctors may suggest repeat testing or other specialised tests if needed.
Cost of the TORCH Test
The cost of the TORCH Test may vary depending on the location and specific diagnostic requirements. MAX@Home follows a transparent pricing policy to provide clarity and convenience for individuals booking pathology tests at home.
