Thank you for asking on HealthcareMagic.com, providing better healthcare for you. I have gone through your case and I can understand your concern. The TORCH test is used to screen pregnant women and newborns for antibodies to the infectious diseases included in the panel, if either the mother or newborn has symptoms. Also it can determine if you have had a recent infection, a past infection, or have never been exposed. The TORCH infections can lead to child infections, severe fetal anomalies or even baby loss. I'm sorry for the situation you & your baby are, hope you will win against the disease. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.Please don't forget to give your valuable feedback and five star rating, to help me assist you in a better way. Click at 'I Find This Answer Helpful too'.
