Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had a TORCH test after 12 weeks of pregnancy. It showed Rubella IgG and CMV IgG to be high, but the Rubella IgM and the CMV IgM were normal. Please advice.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

  • The presence of high levels of IgG antibodies during pregnancy usually is indicative of a past infection and this is not a pinpoint diagnosis.
  • The levels are rechecked after two weeks or so. We then compare the new levels with the old ones, and if they are higher, the infection is deemed to be recent.
  • If the IgM is high, it means there is a current or a very recent infection. If the IgM levels are normal, there is nothing to worry. But, we still go for a third test after two weeks.

Feel comfortable to contact me anytime for more queries. I would be happy to assist you.
