TORCH Rapid Test

The One Step TORCH IgM Test is a panel of rapid qualitative lateral flow test designed for the quantitive detection of IgM antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii (TOXO), Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Rubella, Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) in human serum/plasma samples.

Rubella is a herpes virus. Generally, rubella is considered a mild adolescence disease. However, a maternal infection could be transmitted through the placenta to the fetus, causing congenital rubella. Congenital rubella may
result in chronic cardiac disease, growth retardation, hepatosplenomegaly, malformations and other severe anomalies. Children born asymptomatic may develop these abnormalities later in life. To reduce the risk of such severe
complications, accurate serological methods must be performed to determine the serologic status of childbearing aged women. The presence of rubella specific IgG in the bloodstream attests immunity to rubella. A woman tested to be non-immune can be educated on the availability of vaccination. An increase in rubella IgG denotes an acute infection and differentiates rubella from other exanthematous diseases. Expecting women with current rubella infection should be counseled on the consequences of congenital infection.
