TORCHES Acronym with Explanation!

This video discusses the perinatally acquired infections. Included are HIV, HSV, toxoplasma gondii, Rubella, Cytomegalo virus (CMV), and Syphillis

[@ruqaiyasamad92]

We learnt that severity of congenital t. gondii infection decreases as the number of trimesters increase. for eg., risk of severity is maximum in 1st trimester becasue of organogenesis. :\

[@sorooshsamadi3456]

Yes, That's true. I was also going to make a comment.based on Nelson essential's of pediatrics2019 "the later in pregnancy that infection occurs the more likely it is that the foetus will be infected but less severe the illness" page 449

[@tshepisomaduwana4611]

Understood. Please Make a video on the TORCHES diagnosis and treatment

Great video, thanks! One question - I thought the "blueberry muffin" rash was pathognomonic for Rubella (and not CMV). Could you kindly clarify? thanks!

[@avis0099]

I just watched another video on torches infections, and it was mentioned that blueberry muffin rash is not really pathognomonic for rubella since it can also ocurre in CMV infections, as well as with other congenital infections

You talk about mental retardation as being a sign of toxo - just wondering whether you were still referring to a neonate at this point? I'm just wondering how you assess mental retardation in a neonate.
