Q. Can HSV positive cause abortion?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• This indicates that TORCH infections (toxoplasmosis, other - syphilis, etc., rubella, cytomegalovirus and herpes) might have caused the premature delivery or stillbirth.

• HSV (herpes simplex virus) causes herpes, CMV is cytomegalovirus and rubella is another viral infection.

• Treatment of these infections would be required before undertaking future family planning as these infections are a cause of repeated abortions.

• But, I doubt that all three infections are simultaneously present in an individual. So, please attach the test report for further reference.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• IgG (immunoglobulin G) may come positive in many individuals, who are normal and asymptomatic. So, there is no significance of positive IgG alone (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

• In your report IgM of HSV-herpes simplex virus and rubella are negative. So, it is normal and treatment is not required for you and for your wife.

• I hope thyroid profile was also done and was normal.
