Test Details

What is this test?

The TORCH 10 test is a comprehensive diagnostic blood test that screens for the presence of antibodies against a group of infectious agents. TORCH is an acronym that encompasses a range of pathogens, including Toxoplasma gondii, Rubella virus, Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Herpes simplex virus (HSV), and others. This test assesses a person's exposure to these pathogens, which can be important in various medical contexts, including pregnancy

How the Test is Performed?

Blood Sample: A healthcare provider will collect a blood sample, typically from a vein in your arm, using a needle and a syringe or a specialized blood collection tube.

Laboratory Analysis: The blood sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis. There, the presence of antibodies against the TORCH pathogens is examined.

How to Prepare for the Test?

Fasting or special preparation is generally not required for the TORCH 10 test. You can typically eat and drink normally before the test.

How the Test will Feel?

You may feel a brief pinch or discomfort when the needle is inserted to draw the blood sample. Afterward, there might be some mild bruising or soreness at the site, but this is usually temporary

Why the Test is Performed?

Normal Results

Normal results for the TORCH 10 test indicate the absence of specific antibodies against the TORCH pathogens. This suggests that the person has not been exposed to these infectious agents.

Abnormal Results

Exposure to Pathogens: The presence of antibodies against one or more TORCH pathogens suggests previous exposure to these infectious agents

Risks

The TORCH 10 test is a routine blood test and is generally safe. Risks are minimal and may include:

Mild bruising at the blood sample site.

Rarely, fainting or lightheadedness during or after the blood draw.

Alternative Names
