Both IgG and IgM are negative

What should I do if the IgG and IgM tests are negative? IgG and IgM are both antigens. Does a negative result mean that there is no antigen? Does it mean that I am very likely to be infected if I am pregnant? Don't panic, let's find out together.

What is torch checking igg and igm

IGG and IGM both mean antigens. IGG positive means that the virus has been infected before and has produced antigens, while IGG negative means that the virus has never been infected before.

A positive IGM means that there has been a recent viral infection that has caused antigens, and a negative IGM means that there has been no recent viral infection.

A positive DNA test means that there are copies of the virus infection in the body, and a negative DNA test means that there are no copies of the virus infection in the body.

Torch tested IgG and IgM and the results were negative, which means that you have never been infected. Infection may occur, so please pay attention to protect yourself.

Torch checks possible situations

1. IgG positive and IgM negative

If the fetus has been infected with this type of virus before, or has been vaccinated and has developed immunity, the possibility of fetal infection is low.

2IgG negative IgM negative

This indicates that pregnant women are a susceptible population. It is best to repeat IgG testing during pregnancy to see if it turns positive.

3. IgG positive IgM positive

This indicates that the pregnant woman may have primary infection or reinfection. It can be identified in many aspects through IgG affinity experiments.

4. IgG negative and IgM positive

Recent infection or subacute infection; IgM positivity may also be caused by other influencing factors. A follow-up visit is required after 2 weeks. If the IgG test turns positive, it is a subacute infection, otherwise it is positive.

What should I do if the torch test results of igg and igm are negative?

Torch tests for IgG and IgM that are negative mean you have never been infected. Prevention is very important now! We can choose to get vaccinated. Because the effectiveness of vaccines in preventing infection is low, the focus of preventing TORCH infection should be on women's hygiene and protection.

For example, during the period of pregnancy preparation, women should minimize contact with TORCH patients and avoid contact with unvaccinated animals; do a good job of deworming and sanitation of pets at home; do not eat uncooked meat such as kebabs, sashimi, 5-perfect steak, etc.; wear gloves when touching raw beef, mutton, fish, etc. and handling animal excrement, and wash hands carefully and repeatedly afterwards.
