Current use of the TORCH screen in the diagnosis of congenital infection.

The aim of the study was to determine the number of congenital infections detected in Dublin with the current use of the TORCH screen. A review of all laboratory results was undertaken with subsequent review of relevant medical charts. A total of nine cases were documented in a 5-year period from January 1991 to December 1995. Six of these had already been suspected. There was a failure to follow up 47% of positive screens. TORCH screening in Ireland has an unacceptably low yield, and in the opinion of the authors should be abolished.
