Hi and thanks for using this panel.
T...Toxoplasmosis
O Others(Coxsackievirus, Syphilis, Varicella-Zoster Virus, HIV, and Parvovirus B19.)
Rubella
CMV
Herpes Simplex
They are a group of germs that can cause genital infections, fertility difficulties and pregnancy complications including miscarriages(abortions).
The titers, IGG signify a past infection(unless rising titers that signal continuous infection) and IGM signals a new and ongoing infection.
2. if the cause of the miscarriage was one of these infections, then she will get an answer. However, because there are so many causes of miscarriage, it may not have been any of these infections. The most common cause of abortion is chromosome abnormalities and another bunch without any identifiable cause.
Hope this helps..Feel free to come back if more questions arise.
Wish you and your friend good health.
