Abstract:
Objective To study the use of ultrasound and serological diagnosis of TORCH infection in pregnant women .Methods Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay of serum IgM antibodies specific for TORCH were performed .Biweekly ultrasonic inspec‐tion were also performed to detect fetal development .Results Among 656 cases of pregnant women ,the TORCH infection rate was 19 .36% ,and the positive rates of IgM specific for toxoplasma ,Rubella virus ,cytomegalovirus ,herpes simplex virus were 3 .50% , 2 .13% ,4 .27% and 4 .72% .Among TORCH antibody positive pregnant women ,ultrasound abnormality included 37 cases of omphalocele ,12 cases of cervical lymph hydrocyst ,4 cases of growth‐stopping ,6 cases of hydrocephalus ,9 cases of fetal death ,16 cases of single umbilical artery hydronephrosis ,12 cases of gastroschisis ,24 cases of intrauterine fetal growth retardation ,and the total abnormal rate was 18 .29% .Among 656 cases of pregnant women ,there are 574 cases of normal deliveries ,including 56 cases of TORCH infection ,accounting for 9 .76% ,and 82 cases with adverse pregnancy outcome ,including 43 cases of TORCH infection , accounting for 52 .44% ,which was higher than that in pregnant women with normal deliveries(P<0 .05) .Conclusion Ultrasound and serological diagnosis of TORCH infection could be reliable and effectively improve the quality of the population .
