How to use... neonatal TORCH testing.
[congenital toxoplasmosis]
Toxoplasma
gondii
,
rubella
,
cytomegalovirus
and
herpes
simplex
virus
have
in
common
that
they
can
cause
congenital
(
TORCH
)
infection
,
leading
to
fetal
and
neonatal
morbidity
and
mortality
.
During
the
last
decades
,
TORCH
screening
,
which
is
generally
considered
to
be
single
serum
testing
,
has
been
increasingly
used
inappropriately
and
questions
have
been
raised
concerning
the
indications
and
cost-effectiveness
of
TORCH
testing
.
The
problems
of
TORCH
screening
lie
in
requesting
the
screening
for
the
wrong
indications
,
wrong
interpretation
of
the
single
serum
results
and
in
case
there
is
a
good
indication
for
diagnosis
of
congenital
infection
,
sending
in
the
wrong
materials
.
This
review
provides
an
overview
of
the
pathogenesis
,
epidemiology
and
clinical
consequences
of
congenital
TORCH
infections
and
discusses
the
indications
for
,
and
interpretation
of
,
TORCH
screens
.
