To study the possible temporal association between primary cytomegalovirus infection and
the appearance of islet cell autoantibodies or the development of insulin-dependent …

Introduction D IABETES is recognized as a disease that is closely linked to nutrition, both in
etiology and treatment. Overnutrition was the first risk factor for diabetes to be identified. In …

IgM antibodies to Coxsackie B virus (CBV) have recently been observed in the serum of a
relatively high proportion of children with newly diagnosed insulin-dependent diabetes …

Aims/hypothesis The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the gut mucosa is a
reservoir for enterovirus persistence in patients with type 1 diabetes. Methods Small …

Group B coxsackieviruses (CVBs) are involved in triggering some cases of type 1 diabetes
mellitus (T1DM). However, the molecular mechanism (s) responsible for this remain elusive …

Autoimmune diseases result from a combination of genetic, immunologic, hormonal, and
environmental factors. Infectious agents may induce the breakdown of immunological …

Viral infections elicit antiviral antibodies and have been associated with various chronic
diseases. Detection of these antibodies can facilitate diagnosis, treatment of infection, and …

The role of coxsackie B viruses (CBV) in myo/pericarditis has been well documented;
however, interpretation of static high neutralising antibody titres in individual patients has …

The enterovirus group, named in 1957,(51,236) brought together polioviruses,
coxsackieviruses, and echo viruses, all of which inhabit the human alimentary tract. These …

The full‐length infectious cDNA clone was constructed and sequenced from the strain DM of
echovirus 9, which was recently isolated from a 6‐week‐old child at the clinical onset of type …
