Why the study?
Is enterovirus RNA in serum associated with beta-cell autoimmunity and clinical type 1 diabetes in children?
Is enterovirus RNA in serum associated with beta-cell autoimmunity and clinical type 1 diabetes in children?
Enterovirus infections are a significant risk factor for type 1 diabetes and are associated with the induction of beta-cell autoimmunity years before symptoms appear.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Enterovirus RNA detection warrants no change in pediatric screening; supports hypothesis that infection precedes beta-cell autoimmunity but requires prospective confirmation.
L�nnrot et al. (2000) studied this question.
