Torch 5 Profile (IgM)
A TORCH 5 Profile IgM is a specialized maternal and neonatal panel that checks for active, early-stage infections. When your immune system encounters a new pathogen, it generates two primary types of antibodies: IgM and IgG. Because this specific profile looks exclusively at IgM, its core purpose is to screen for active infections that could cross the placenta and pose a risk to fetal development during pregnancy.
