About this test

The TORCH profile checks antibodies against Toxoplasma, Rubella, Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Herpes simplex (HSV 1 & 2) — infections that can harm a baby during pregnancy. IgM shows recent infection; IgG shows past infection or immunity.

Why is this test done?

  • Before or during pregnancy
  • Repeated miscarriages
  • Fever with rash in pregnancy

Symptoms — when should you get tested?

  • Planning pregnancy
  • History of miscarriage
  • Fever or rash in pregnancy

Normal range

IgM (each) Negative
IgG (each) Negative or positive (immunity)

Reference ranges differ slightly between labs, methods, age and sex. Always discuss your report with your doctor.

If your result is high

Positive IgM suggests a recent infection and needs your doctor's review; positive IgG alone usually means past infection or immunity.

Common reasons
  • Recent or past infection
  • Rubella vaccination (positive IgG)
