​

TORCH is an acronym for a group of infectious diseases that, while infecting pregnant women may cause birth defects in their newborns. TORCH stands for 4 different infections that can adversely affect pregnant women and the fetus, newborn children including birth and often leading to abortion. The four infections are Rubella, CMV, Toxo, and HSV. Infections caused by TORCH is the major cause of BOH (Bad Obstetric History). Microcephaly, hydrocephaly, seizures and psychomotor retardation accompany these malformations.
