Understanding TORCH 4 Panel, IgG in Bangalore
What is TORCH 4 Panel, IgG in Bangalore?
TORCH 4 Panel IgG is a panel of tests that screens for infectious diseases including Toxoplasmosis, Rubella, Herpes simplex (1&2) and Cytomegalovirus infection. These tests detect the presence of IgG antibodies produced by the body in response to these infections.
This test is ordered if you are exposed to certain infectious diseases or become ill while pregnant; or when the newborn shows any signs suggestive of such infections including mental retardation, deafness, heart defects, cataract, or jaundice.
What does TORCH 4 Panel, IgG measure?
Contains 4 testsCytomegalovirus IgG Antibody
A Cytomegalovirus IgG Antibody test measures the presence of IgG antibodies in the blood, indicating a previous CMV infection. IgG antibodies are produced several weeks after the initial CMV infection. IgG levels rise during the active infection, then stabilize as the CMV infection resolves and the virus becomes inactive. Once exposed to CMV, you will have some measurable amount of CMV IgG antibody in your blood for the rest of your life, which provides protection from getting another primary infection (immunity). However, if you have a weak immune system, the virus can reactivate and cause serious symptoms or organ damage.

Toxoplasma gondii, IgG
A Toxoplasma gondii, IgG test measures the presence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies specific to the Toxoplasma gondii parasite in the blood. These antibodies indicate a previous (past) exposure to the parasite. The presence of IgG antibodies indicates that you have had an infection, but it does not tell when. A high avidity in the IgG avidity test strongly suggests the infection happened more than 4 months ago. However, a low avidity result alone cannot be used to diagnose when the infection occurred, and further clinical evaluation is needed.
In general, having IgG antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii suggests a certain level of protection, but the effectiveness and duration of this protection can depend on factors such as the individual’s overall health, the strain of the parasite, and other immune-related considerations.

Rubella Virus, IgG
A Rubella Virus, IgG test measures the presence of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies specific to the rubella virus in an individual's blood. IgG antibodies are indicative of previous exposure or vaccination against rubella. This test helps assess an individual’s immunity status to the virus. If the IgG antibodies are detected, it suggests that the individual has either been vaccinated against rubella or has had a previous infection, leading to the development of immune protection.

Herpes Simplex Virus 1 & 2, IgG
The Herpes Simplex Virus 1 & 2, IgG test determines the presence of IgG antibodies against HSV-1 and HSV-2 in response to the Herpes infection. Your body begins to make two relevant types of HSV-1 antibody or HSV-2 antibody around 18 to 21 days after you are exposed to the virus and remains in the body for life. The presence of IgG antibodies generally indicates past exposure and immunity against Herpes infection.
