Hi ,
How are you doing ?
Let me give few facts that are proved & you can find them on Google.
CMV is NOT A CAUSE FOR RECURRENT ABORTION. So there is no meaning og doing a TORCH profile after abortion. Further few words on the antibodies.
Any infection in body produces 2 types of antibodies. As soon as you get any infection( be it any infection disease you think of - Typhoid , TB , Hepatitis etc) your body produces IgM & over time your body produces IgG, which means that some time in the past you had the infection, it is not active . So whats the meaning of taking antibiotics for some infection , which is dead & gone & has just left back few antibodies.
I do agree that CMV during infection can cause irreversible anomalies in baby , needing abortion, but it is never a cause of recurrent abortion.
One more thing you need to notice is - CMV - Cyto Megalo Virus is a virus & there is no medicine for a virus. Antibiotics are effective against bacteria only. So taking the medication is left to you
Hope I have clarified your query
All the best
