S-riseroprevalence of TORCH Infections among highk pregnant women, Datia, Madhya Pradesh
Abstract
The lack of data on the seroprevalence of TORCH infections among high-risk pregnant women in Datia, Madhya Pradesh, which is crucial for better maternal and fetal health outcomes, is a concern. Over six months, 50 serum samples were tested for IgM antibodies using immunochromatographic rapid card tests. Data show that 28% of women were positive for at least one infection, with CMV being the most common (16%). No co-infections were found. Thus, we show the effectiveness of ICT/RCT for rapid screening and emphasize the importance of TORCH screening in high-risk pregnancies.
