Abstract: Background: TORCH agents' causes ranges of infection in pregnant women and also in fetus, causing congenital anomalies and intrauterine fetal death. Detection of antibodies to these infections helps to establish primary, recurrent or past infections. Our aim of the study was to detect IgG and IgM antibodies against these infections agents among pregnant women by the CLIA Technique. Methods: A total of 104 samples from pregnant women were studied. These samples were tested for IgG and IgM antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii, Rubella, CMV and HSV by LIAISON IMMUNOASSAY ANALYSER by CLIA Technique. Data were analysed using SPSS. Result: The IgG/IgM seropositivity to Toxoplasma gondii, Rubella, CMV and HSV ½ were found to be 11.54%/1.92%, 95.19%/0.0%, 91.35%/0.96% and.....
