Intrauterine infection remains one of the major challenges for the obstetrician during pregnancy. TORCH infection correlates with bad obstetric history (BOH). It may produce spontaneous abortion, intrauterine fetal death, congenital anomalies, IUGR and still birth. 83 patients with BOH were evaluated. These patients were investigated for presence of TORCH, IgG and IgM antibody by ELISA Test. 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. Outoff 83 patients 28 had still birth with congenital anomalies.
