AB With evidence accumulating that the β-cells of patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) can be infected with enterovirus [Richardson SJ et al. Diabetologia 2009], the question if enterovirus could cause β-cell damage and T1DM has become increasingly relevant [Tauriainen S et al. Semin Immunopathol 2011]. This article discusses the evidence of viral infection in the pancreas of patients with T1DM.
