To read the full abstract: PLoS One. 2018;13:e0193992Enterovirus infections in children are associated with an almost 10-fold higher risk of T1DM. In these families in parents and siblings enterovirus can frequently be detected by PCR. However, the role of enteroviral infections in the pathogenesis of T1DM is complex. Although enterovirus infections are less prevalent T1DM incidence increa...
