What are the symptoms of TORCH infection?

summary

Torch syndrome is a kind of symptom that often occurs in women and may cause perinatal malformation. This group of microbial infection has common characteristics, which can cause maternal and infant infection. Pregnant women are prone to primary infection due to endocrine changes and decreased immunity, and the potential virus in pregnant women with previous infection is also easy to be activated and recurrent infection occurs. What are the symptoms of TORCH infection?

What are the symptoms of TORCH infection?

Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular parasite. Parasitic in cells, with blood flow, to all parts of the body, damage the brain, heart, fundus, resulting in the decline of human immunity, suffering from various diseases.

Rubella virus, mainly transmitted through respiratory tract, can cause fetal deformity after infection of pregnant women. Virus infects fetus through placenta to form congenital infection, which is called congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). It is mainly congenital cataract, congenital heart disease and nerve deafness. After 20 weeks, the infected person has almost no effect. The earlier the rubella infection occurs in pregnancy, the more serious the teratogenesis of the fetus.

After pregnant women are infected with these pathogens, these pathogens can pass through the placental barrier and enter the fetus; The virus in vagina can cause ascending infection, especially in premature rupture of membranes; Inhalation of vaginal secretions or maternal blood with virus can infect the fetus or the newborn delivered through vagina, leading to abortion, stillbirth, abnormal development or deformity and other serious consequences.

matters needing attention

There is a placenta between the mother and the fetus. During pregnancy, it is not only a place to exchange nutrients, but also a very important barrier, called blood fetal barrier. It can block the passage of most harmful objects, including bacteria, some drugs and viruses, so as to ensure the normal development of the fetus in the uterus. However, in the early pregnancy, the placental barrier is not fully developed. Therefore, once the mother is infected with the virus, the fetus will be harmed without hindrance, and abortion is the most serious, and teratogenesis is the least. No matter what the consequences are, we do not want to see, so experts ask you to do a virus antibody test before you get pregnant, it is very reasonable!
