Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 38-year-old female, and I do not have any symptoms. I am 29 weeks pregnant. I would like to know about my TORCH test résults.

Answered by Dr. Natasha Bansal

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

From the attached reports (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity), I can see that only IgG (immunoglobulin G) antibodies are positive and IgM (immunoglobulin M) antibodies are negative. This signifies past torch infection, but no infection is present now, and you do not have any symptoms. To know whether there is some active infection or not, I suggest you undergo this test again after one month.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
