This article provides information about TORCH infection and its pathogens. This disease has long been considered dangerous in many countries. TORCH is a combination of several infections. These pathogens include CMV and cCMV viruses, hepatitis, HIV, and herpes. Every year, many newborns and mothers suffer from TORCH infection. This article discusses how to initially protect yourself from the infection and how to diagnose it. The disease can develop asymptomatically in a woman's body for a long time. If a woman is pregnant, the disease begins to manifest itself. In the child's body, it causes severe complications. Therefore, every woman should undergo a TORCH examination before pregnancy. These tests include PCR, blood tests, virological tests, as well as CT and MRI as additional examinations. Severe complications of this infection include fetal damage
