ABSTRACT
Cord blood samples were taken from 552 infants for screening TORCH infections by ELISA. Maternal infection was documented by the presence of specific IgG antibody, whereas IgM was used to identify fetal infection. Results:
Prevalence of maternal infections with toxoplasma, rubella, CMV and HSV-2 were 17.6%, 73.4%, 99.6% and 40.9%, respectively. Regarding the neonates, no infant presented with congenital toxoplasma, whereas prevalence of neonatal rubella and CMV were 0.2% and 0.5%, respectively, and herpes, 14.7%.
