- Torch 5 Panel IgG
What Is the TORCH 5 Panel IgG Test?
The TORCH 5 Panel IgG test measures Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against five key infectious agents: Toxoplasma gondii, Rubella virus, Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1), and Herpes Simplex Virus type 2 (HSV-2). IgG antibodies develop weeks to months after initial infection and persist long-term, indicating past exposure or immunity. A positive IgG result generally means the individual has previously encountered that pathogen and has developed immune memory. For women planning pregnancy or already pregnant, the TORCH IgG panel is a critical pre-conception and antenatal screening tool—it establishes baseline immunity and helps clinicians identify whether a positive IgM (acute infection marker) reflects a truly new infection or a reactivation of past exposure. The test requires a simple blood draw and is processed by ELISA or chemiluminescence methods at certified labs. Results are typically available within 24–48 hours. In Delhi, the TORCH IgG panel is recommended as part of pre-marital screening, fertility workups, and first-trimester antenatal care at most obstetric and gynaecological clinics.
Who Should Get the TORCH 5 Panel IgG Test?
- Women planning to conceive who need to establish their immunity status against Rubella, CMV, Toxoplasma, and Herpes viruses before pregnancy.
- Pregnant women in the first trimester as part of routine antenatal TORCH screening recommended by obstetricians.
- Women with a history of recurrent miscarriages, foetal growth restriction, or previous congenital infection to evaluate TORCH immunity.
- Immunocompromised individuals—such as those on chemotherapy or with HIV—where TORCH reactivation poses a significant risk.
- Newborns suspected of congenital TORCH infection presenting with jaundice, microcephaly, rash, or hepatosplenomegaly.
- Delhi women attending fertility clinics or IVF centres where TORCH IgG screening is a standard pre-treatment investigation.
How to Prepare for the TORCH 5 Panel IgG Test?
No fasting is required for the TORCH 5 Panel IgG test. A simple blood sample is drawn from a vein in the forearm. Inform your doctor or the lab technician of any recent infections, fever, rashes, immunosuppressive medications, or recent vaccinations (particularly the MMR vaccine), as these may transiently affect antibody levels. No other special preparation is needed. The test is safe during all trimesters of pregnancy. Results are typically available within 24–48 hours at most NABL-accredited labs in Delhi.

What does the TORCH 5 Panel IgG test detect?
It detects IgG antibodies against Toxoplasma, Rubella, CMV, HSV-1, and HSV-2—indicating past exposure or immunity to these infections.
What does a positive IgG result mean?
A positive IgG means you have been previously exposed to that pathogen and have developed immune memory. It usually indicates protection for Rubella.
Is the TORCH IgG test the same as the TORCH IgM test?
No. IgG detects past infection or immunity; IgM detects recent or active infection. Both together give a complete picture.

No fasting is required. A routine blood sample from a vein is all that is needed.
