Abstract Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system
mounts an attack on the host's insulin‐producing β cells. Because most cases of T1D cannot …

Beyond acute clinical conditions, the role of enteroviruses (EVs) in chronic human diseases
has been described. Although they are considered as highly cytolytic viruses, EVs can …

Aims This study was designed to assess further the possible links between enterovirus
infection and Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods Sera from 110 children in the age …

For over a century, viruses have left a long trail of evidence implicating them as frequent
suspects in the development of type 1 diabetes. Through vigorous interrogation of viral …

Environmental factors, especially viruses, are involved in the initiation or the acceleration of
type 1 diabetes (T1D) pathogenesis. Epidemiological data strongly suggest that …

Objective: To determine whether there is association between infection with enteroviruses
and beta-cell autoimmunity in children at elevated risk of developing type 1 diabetes …

Background: Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) has a long subclinical period
characterised by gradually progressing autoimmune damage of insulin producing beta-cells …

Aims/hypothesis We have recently proposed that fulminant type-1 diabetes is a novel
subtype of type-1 diabetes with abrupt onset of insulin-deficient hyperglycaemia without islet …

Despite a large number of epidemiologic associ-ations, clinical studies, and animal models,
a direct involvement of pathogens in the etiology of human type 1 diabetes is still a matter of …

Recent prospective studies have documented serologically an increased frequency of
enterovirus infections in prediabetic children, indicating that these infections may initiate and …
