Intended Use
The ToRCH IgG/IgM Test Cassette(Toxo,RV,CMV,HSV-I/II) is a rapid chromatographic
immunoassay for the qualitative detection of IgG and IgM antibody to toxoplasma gondii (Toxo), rubella virus (RV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), and herpes simplex virus I/II (HSV-I/II) in whole blood/serum/plasma to aid in the diagnosis of ToRCH.
Summary
ToRCH is an acronym for a group of infectious diseases that, while infecting the pregnant women, may cause birth defects in their newborns. ToRCH stands for 5 different infections that can
adversely affect the pregnant women and the fetus, newborn children including birth defects and
often leading to abortion. The five infections are toxomplasma gondii (Toxo), rubella virus, CMV–
cytomegalovirus virus, HSV-I/II–herpes simplex virus I/II. The infections usually cause few, if any, symptoms in the pregnant woman, but pose greater risks of serious birth defects for neonates. Infections caused by ToRCH–toxoplasma, rubella virus, cytomegalo virus (CMV) and herpes
simplex virus I/II (HSV-I/II)–is the major cause of BOH (bad obstetric history). Risks are severe, if the mother gets the infection in the first trimester as the baby's organs start to form in this stage. General symptoms include premature birth, growth retardation,neurological abnormalities, damage of the eye, liver, heart and ear as well as bone lesions. Microcephaly, hydrocephaly, seizures and psychomotor retardation accompany these malformations. The ToRCH IgG/IgM Test Cassette(Toxo , RV , CMV , HSV-I/II ) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of IgG and IgM antibody to Toxo, Rubella, CMV, and HSV-I/II in whole blood/serum/plasma specimens.
