Implication

EV detection at adult IDDM onset may support viral trigger; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Structured PICO

Is enteroviral infection associated with the onset of adult type I diabetes mellitus?

P
Population
51 adults, comprising 12 newly diagnosed IDDM patients with ketosis or ketoacidosis, 12 patients with metabolic decompensation in the course of IDDM, 12 patients with decompensated non-IDDM, and 15 healthy adults without presumed EV infection or metabolic disease.
O
Outcome
Detection of enteroviral (EV) genome in peripheral blood using reverse transcription and seminested polymerase chain reaction (seminested RT-PCR)surrogate

Coxsackie B virus RNA sequences are detectable in peripheral blood at the onset of adult type I diabetes, supporting a potential viral etiology for the disease.
