Question
What are the four tests in the prenatal TORCH screening? Which four?
Answer
The Prenatal TORCH screening (TORCH) involves testing for infections caused by toxoplasmosis, rubella virus, cytomegalovirus, and herpes simplex viruses type I/II. These viruses may infect the fetus during pregnancy, potentially leading to congenital defects or miscarriage. Checking for these viruses aids in preventing and early detecting these infections to safeguard fetal health.
