TORCH infections must be detected

SHARE WITH FRIENDS:

TORCH-infection is an acronym derived from the initials of the following diseases:
T - Toxoplasma (toxoplasmosis);
O - Others (others: enterovirus, parvovirus V19, hepatitis B, C, HIV, trauma);
R - Rubella (measles);
C - Cytomegalovirus (cytomegalovirus);
H - Herpes simplex virus (herpes I / II).

Toxoplasmosis, chlamydia, mycoplasmosis, measles, cytomegalovirus, and other TORCH infections are the most common type of TORCH infections, and if they spread before the 12th week of pregnancy, a woman's fetus can often die. Defects in fetal development in the abdomen are also observed.

Toxoplasmosis is almost asymptomatic. When transmitted from mother to fetus, it infects the nervous system, heart muscle and other organs. Infection can be transmitted to humans through the consumption of meat products contaminated with the toxoplasmosis pathogen. Although the body develops a strong immune system after the illness, various complications can occur if a pregnant woman is infected with toxoplasmosis.

The source of measles, which is a severe viral disease in adults and pregnancy with mild fever and a small red rash, is in patients with the disease. It is transmitted to a healthy person through the airways, and to a child through his mother. By nature, everyone is susceptible to disease viruses.

Studies show that if a woman has measles in the first trimester of pregnancy, the risk of fetal harm is 60-85%, 15-20% in the second trimester, and 5% in the third trimester. Congenital malformations (such as cataracts, heart defects, and neurosensory deafness) can occur in babies born with congenital measles. People with measles usually develop stable immunity.

Cytomegalovirus infection (CMVI) is a viral disease that is asymptomatic, sometimes severely affecting the central nervous system and internal organs, and adversely affecting the course of pregnancy. The incidence of SMVI in the world varies from 50 to 90 percent.

In the first few months, a fetus infected with SMVI may die or be born with a birth defect. Although the lesion does not cause significant organ changes in late pregnancy, complications such as jaundice, bleeding, pneumonia, and central nervous system damage may occur after birth. There is no stable immunity after SMVI, which indicates the possibility of recurrence.

Herpes simplex virus (OGV) is one of the most common viral infections, with two types. In other words, OGV-2 contamination accounts for 1-90% of the world's population. Herpes simplex is a severe form of pregnancy that can sometimes lead to premature or premature birth. It has been found that OGV infection in the first trimester of pregnancy can lead to birth defects such as hydrocephalus, heart defects, cataracts, deafness, genitourinary disorders, and gastrointestinal disorders. Infection in the second and third trimesters causes complications such as enlargement of the liver and black liver (hepatos-plenomegaly), anemia, jaundice, malnutrition, pneumonia. Even after this disease, there is no stable immunity and recurrence of the disease is observed.

Infectious diseases caused by chlamydial microorganisms are caused by chlamydial infections of the urinary tract and are commonly referred to as urogenital chlamydia. In men, chlamydia can cause pathological processes such as orchitis, prostatitis, urethritis, and in women - cervicitis, urethritis, inflammation of the pelvis. Mycoplasmas are conditionally pathogenic microorganisms for humans and can be found in a healthy organism.

There are 14 serotypes of ureaplasma included in the group of sexually transmitted infections. In recent years, the role of different serotypes in the development of infection has been studied. It is possible to detect different serotypes of ureaplasmas in the human body at the same time. Ureaplasma is mainly transmitted through domestic contact and sexual contact. The incubation period lasts an average of 2-3 weeks. The disease can be one of the leading causes of infertility in men. Early diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of TORC infections can help prevent a variety of complications.
