In this study, 29.39% of cases were IgG TORCH positive whereas 3.01% IgM positive. 26.51% were Rubella IgG positive and 4.62% were Rubella IgM positive. 21.69% were CMV IgG positive and 15.61% Herpes simplex IgG positive. It was observed that incidence of preterm deliveries and congenital anomalies was more in toxo-positive titers while incidence of spontaneous abortion was more in Rubella, CMV and HSV positive titers.
