Protect Your Pregnancy Journey with Comprehensive TORCH Screening
As an expecting mother in South Africa, you deserve complete peace of mind about your baby’s health. The TORCH Panel IgG IgM Extended Test provides the comprehensive screening you need to detect potential infections that could affect your pregnancy. We understand the anxiety that comes with pregnancy health concerns, which is why we’ve made this essential testing accessible and affordable across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and nationwide.
Understanding Your TORCH Panel Test
The TORCH Panel is a crucial screening test that detects antibodies for five infections that can pose risks during pregnancy: Toxoplasma, Rubella, Cytomegalovirus, and Herpes Simplex types 1 and 2. Our extended panel tests for both IgG (past exposure) and IgM (current infection) antibodies, giving you and your healthcare provider a complete picture of your immune status.
Using advanced CLIA and EIA laboratory methods, we ensure 99% accuracy in detecting these infections, providing you with reliable results you can trust for making informed decisions about your pregnancy care.
Who Should Take This Essential Pregnancy Test?
This test is specifically designed for:
- Women planning pregnancy or in early pregnancy stages
- Expecting mothers with concerns about infection exposure
- Women with flu-like symptoms, rash, or swollen glands during pregnancy
- Those with pets (especially cats) or who consume undercooked meat
- Healthcare workers or childcare providers who may be exposed to infections
- Women with previous pregnancy complications or concerns
Early detection through TORCH screening can help prevent serious complications and ensure the healthiest possible outcome for your baby.
Why This Test Matters for Your Pregnancy Health
Taking the TORCH Panel provides multiple benefits for your peace of mind and your baby’s health:
- Early Detection: Identify infections before they can affect fetal development
