As you embark on the beautiful journey of pregnancy, we understand the mix of excitement and concern you may feel about your baby’s health. The TORCH Panel IgM Test provides the reassurance you need by detecting dangerous infections that could impact your pregnancy. For just ZAR 550, gain peace of mind knowing you’re taking proactive steps to safeguard both your health and your baby’s development.
Understanding Your TORCH Panel IgM Test
The TORCH Panel IgM Test is specifically designed to detect recent infections from four critical pathogens that can affect pregnancy outcomes. Using advanced CLIA methodology, this test looks for IgM antibodies – your body’s immediate response to new infections. This means we can identify infections that have occurred within recent weeks, providing crucial information for your healthcare team.
What We Test For:
- Toxoplasma: Often transmitted through undercooked meat or contact with cat litter
- Rubella (German Measles): A viral infection that can cause serious birth defects
- Cytomegalovirus (CMV): A common virus that can affect fetal development
- Herpes Simplex 1 & 2: Viruses that can be transmitted during delivery
Who Should Consider This Essential Screening?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing any of these situations:
- Planning Pregnancy: Get baseline screening before conception
- Early Pregnancy: Routine screening during first trimester
- Unexplained Symptoms: Fever, rash, or flu-like symptoms during pregnancy
- High-Risk Exposure: Contact with sick individuals or potential infection sources
- Previous Pregnancy Complications: History of miscarriage or fetal abnormalities
- Immune System Concerns: Weakened immunity or autoimmune conditions
Many women are unaware they’ve been exposed to these infections, making screening an essential precaution.

- Prevent Transmission: Reduce risk of passing infections to your baby
