TORCH infections (toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus / CMV and herpes simplex) refers to a group of infections that can be passed from pregnant women to their babies. TORCH-infected pregnant women with high risk of transmitting it to her fetus that can cause birth defects.
Allegations against TORCH infections can only be proved by performing blood tests or screening. If the result is positive, or there is active infection your doctor may recommend diagnostic tests in the form of making little amniotic fluid to be examined in the laboratory.
Here are the types of TORCH infections:
1. Toxoplasmosis infection is transmitted by a parasite (protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii). The infection is transmitted from animal to human heat-bodied. According dr.Yuditia Purwosunu Sp.OG (K), this parasite into the human body through food. "The source is mainly the meat not cooked or raw vegetables. The hand that also can become contaminated with Toxoplasma transmission media if we are not wash hands before eating," he said.
In the case of primary maternal infection occurs in pregnancy, the parasite can be transmitted from the placenta and cause fetal defects in the form of visual impairment or spontaneous miscarriage, although the percentage is small.
2. Infection with rubella infection is also known as German measles and often suffered by children. Rubella tri experienced in the first half of pregnancy 90 percent of causing blindness, deafness, heart abnormalities, mental retardation, and even miscarriage.
"Pregnant women are advised to not having contact with people who are sick German measles," said Dr.Liliane G. Keros, immunology experts from Paris. To prevent this, women are advised to vaccinate rubella. "Protection reached 100 percent," he added.
3. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) CMV is a herpes virus family. The virus is transmitted through sexual contact or during pregnancy. As a result of these infections can be fatal because it causes birth defects in the fetus. Unfortunately there is no treatment that can prevent infection with this virus.
4. Herpes simplex herpes virus consists of 2 types, namely herpes simplex 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV 2). Transmission usually occurs in sexual contact in adults. HSV-1 also can be transmitted through social contacts in childhood. HSV-2 prevalence was higher in HIV-positive group and those who have sex without a condom.
