IgG positive & IgM negative in TORCH panel usually means past infection with immunity, not a recent or active infection.
🍀 No vaccine or treatment is required at present.
🍀 It is generally safe if she is pregnant.
Consult a gynaecologist if any symptoms.

If TORCH panel shows IgG positive and IgM negative, it generally means past infection with immunity and no active/recent infection.
👉 In most cases, no treatment or medication is required.
👉 Vaccination is usually not needed if IgG is already positive (immunity present).
However, interpretation can vary depending on which specific infection (Toxo, Rubella, CMV, HSV) is positive and whether she is pregnant or planning pregnancy.
It’s best to review the detailed report with a gynecologist for confirmation, but based on IgG positive & IgM negative alone, this is usually reassuring.
