The most common congenital infections are described by the acronym TORCH: toxoplasmosis, other (such as syphilis, parvovirus, and HIV), rubella, cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus. With the exception of toxoplasmosis caused by protozoa, the etiological agent of fetal congenital infections is usually a virus.
