The TORCH Panel - IgM test is your "active infection" detector. It screens for the "first-responder" (IgM) antibodies across the full TORCH panel. A positive IgM result is a critical, time-sensitive warning, signaling a current or very recent infection that could pose a risk to a pregnancy. This test is essential for investigating symptoms during pregnancy or in a newborn. This test is a key part of our complete TORCH Profile, providing the immediate, 'real-time' answers your doctor needs.
