The aim of this study was to present the characteristics of infections caused by the TORCH complex pathogens, identified as “others”, in women during pregnancy and their influence on the foetus. The “other” TORCH pathogens include: Treponema pallium, Listeria monocytogenes, Parvovirus B19, Varicella zoster virus, Measles virus, Myxovirusparotitis, influenza virus, viruses such as: HIV,HCV,HBC and also Chlamydia trachomatis. These pathogens are not only responsible for developing certain clinical symptoms in pregnant women but they also have a significant influence on child’s health and might be the cause of congenital disorders in infants. The consequences of TORCH infections may be visible in children directly after the birth, during infancy, or become present later, after several years. The most serious consequences are caused by foetal infection during early pregnancy. They may result in severe congenital disorders in foetus or cause miscarriage. Tests and examinations of women who plan pregnancy, and regular checks of the course of pregnancy allow for a proper care of mother and child.
