Protect Your Baby’s Health with TORCH Panel PCR Testing
As an expectant parent, nothing matters more than your baby’s health and wellbeing. The TORCH Panel Real Time PCR test provides the peace of mind you deserve by detecting dangerous infections that could affect your pregnancy. These silent threats often show no symptoms in mothers but can have devastating consequences for developing babies. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the anxiety that comes with pregnancy, which is why we’ve made this critical testing accessible and affordable across South Africa.
Understanding Your TORCH Panel Test
The TORCH Panel uses advanced Real Time PCR technology to detect four major infection groups that pose risks during pregnancy:
- Toxoplasmosis – Often transmitted through contaminated food or cat litter
- Rubella – Also known as German measles
- Cytomegalovirus (CMV) – A common virus that can cause hearing loss and developmental issues
- Herpes Simplex Virus – Can be transmitted during delivery
Our cutting-edge PCR methodology ensures 99.9% accuracy, giving you reliable results you can trust for making important healthcare decisions.
Who Should Take This Test?
This test is specifically designed for:
- All pregnant women – Early detection can prevent serious complications
- Women planning pregnancy – Pre-conception screening provides optimal protection
- Those with flu-like symptoms during pregnancy that could indicate infection
- Women with known exposure to any TORCH infections
- International travellers planning pregnancy abroad
If you’re experiencing unexplained fever, fatigue, or swollen glands during pregnancy, this test could provide critical answers.
Why This Test Matters for Your Baby’s Health
Early detection through TORCH Panel testing can:
- Prevent birth defects and developmental delays
- Enable timely treatment to protect your baby
- Reduce risk of miscarriage or stillbirth
