Abstract

Abstract TORCH infections continue to present to clinicians as a diagnostic and therapeutic problem. There is a great need for awareness regarding prepregnancy serology screening tests, vaccination, and safety measures to prevent these infections which cause serious fetal sequelae, particularly rubella and varicella zoster being vaccine-preventable diseases. Serology testing for these infections along with immunoglobulin G avidity testing should be more commonly available. In this review, we discuss the evaluation needed prepregnancy, during pregnancy if there is a suspected infection, and treatment of TORCH infections.
