TORCH infections refer to a group of congenital infections that can be transmitted from a pregnant mother to her fetus. The acronym TORCH stands for Toxoplasmosis, Other (which includes syphilis, varicella-zoster, parvovirus B19, and HIV), Rubella, Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Herpes simplex virus (HSV). These infections can lead to a range of developmental issues and health problems in the newborn, emphasizing the importance of early detection and management during pregnancy.
