The acronym TORCH is used for microorganisms that can harm the foetus during pregnancy.
The name is made up of the initials of the pathogens: Toxoplasma gondii, “Others” (other microbes), rubella virus, cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex viruses. The tests in the discounted TORCH package are worth having early in family planning, so that protection against dangerous infections can be started, or so that an uncertain serostatus discovered later does not cause worry about the baby during pregnancy. If the screening tests were not done before the planned pregnancy, they can also be carried out during pregnancy, ideally as early as possible.
Test results are always evaluated by a doctor. The package does not replace a personal medical consultation.
