Conference report: CIBA Foundation meeting on enteroviruses and early childhood diabetes
1Department of Medicine, Royal London Hospital, UK.
Abstract:
A symposium held at the CIBA Foundation in April 1996 discussed recent research on the relationship between enteroviruses and the onset of insulin-dependent (Type 1) diabetes mellitus. New data were presented and discussed concerning the frequency of viral infection in the probands and mothers of children with diabetes and the immune responses associated with candidate viruses. Further evidence was presented but yet more is needed to look at the role of viruses in the pathogenesis of IDDM and the mechanisms by which it might occur.
