title: [Concentrations of the IgM and antibodies for the TORCH complex in the umbilical blood (author's transl)].
abstract: The Authors have found both IgM and antibodies for the TORCH complex in the umbilical blood of 1500 newborns. In 119 (7.9%) there was an increase of IgM. In 23% of these newborns there were present antibodies for rubella, in 21% antibodies for toxoplasma, in 15.9% antibodies for cytomegalovirus, and in 19.2% antibodies for herpes simplex. However there was no statistical correlation between the antibodies for the TORCH complex and the increase of IgM.
