The present study investigated the relationship between positive indicators in prenatal care and the reduction in the incidence of congenital infections in the TORCH group. The study focused on the importance of adequate follow-up during pregnancy to prevent neonatal complications associated with these infections. In the initial phase, a comprehensive literature review was carried out, using reliable and updated sources. Data collection involved retrospective analysis of pregnant women's medical records, with special attention to indicators such as serological tests, ultrasounds, and clinical follow-up during prenatal care. The materials used included state-of-the-art ultrasound equipment, specific serology kits for TORCH infections, and instruments for collecting clinical data. The methodology used consisted of descriptive statistical analysis of the results, with emphasis on the identification of correlations between the quality of prenatal care and the incidence of congenital infections. The results revealed a significant correlation between favorable prenatal indicators, such as adequate frequency of consultations, performance of specific tests and adequate guidance, and the reduction in the incidence of infections in the TORCH group in newborns.
