Hello and welcome to HCM,
TORCH positive means infection with one of the 4 infectious agents- toxoplasma, rubella, cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex.
All of these are viral infections.
Transmission of these infectious virus to the fetus during pregnancy can cause various abnormalities, malformations, mental retardation and death depending upon the virus involved.
The treatment of these infections is anti-viral therapy which your doctor has prescribed.
After completion of the therapy, you need to confirm that the infection is treated by getting serological tests done.
If reactive, you may have to continue the treatment till tests turn non-reactive.
Before planning next pregnancy you need to re-confirm that you are non-reactive for the TORCH complex.
Thanks and take care
