Talk:Vertically transmitted infection

Proposed merge
I have proposed merging TORCH complex into this article for the following reasons: I think it would improve the overall quality of this article if the two were merged. LT90001 (talk) 12:31, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
 * This article would more appropriately cover VTIs in depth rather than just the five in TORCH complex
 * The TORCH complex bacteria are somewhat arbitrarily selected, and not grouped on any pathophysiological basis.


 * Support merge. TORCH appears to be a mnemonic to remember some important vertically transmitted infections, and as far as I know they differ from each other in terms of e.g. signs, diagnosis and management just as much as virtually any other vertically transmitted infection.

 * ✅. It's been a week now, so I performed the merge. Mikael Häggström (talk) 10:52, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

Added
It has been suggested that IgG2 antibody can play crucial role in prevention of intrauterine infections and currently extensive research is going on for developing IgG2 based therapies for treatment and vaccination.

RE: cheaptorches "P – Parvovirus B19 (produces Hydrops faetalis, but it is NOT teratogenic)" It certainly is teratogenic. It is an extrinsic disruption (edema secondary to aplastic anemia caused by the virus). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.71.38.71 (talk) 05:54, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Non-human vertically transmissted infections
Information on non-human vertically transmitted infection is required. Before publishing an independent article, I would like to discuss if it would it make more sense to add the information here. I think not, but would appreciate your opinions. Ditaviz (talk) 10:17, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
