Type 1 diabetes and Coxsackie virus infection. 1979

C Di Pietro, and M J Del Guercio, and G P Paolino, and M Barbi, and P Ferrante, and G Chiumello

The role played by viruses in the aetiopathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus has been studied by several authors; in particular the importance of Coxsackie virus B4 infection has been stated by some authors and not confirmed by others. 43 diabetic children were studied at the time of the diagnosis of the disease. No viruses could be isolated from stools; the titres of anti-Coxsackie viruses B1 to 6 complement fixing antibodies and anti-Coxsackie virus B4 neutralizing antibodies, compared to controls, indicated that Coxsackie virus infection was not associated with the onset of diabetes in these children. A cross-reaction with anti-Coxsackie viruses sera and a human pancreas demonstrated that there are not antigens in common between these viruses and the human pancreas.

D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children

D003168 Complement Fixation Tests Serologic tests based on inactivation of complement by the antigen-antibody complex (stage 1). Binding of free complement can be visualized by addition of a second antigen-antibody system such as red cells and appropriate red cell antibody (hemolysin) requiring complement for its completion (stage 2). Failure of the red cells to lyse indicates that a specific antigen-antibody reaction has taken place in stage 1. If red cells lyse, free complement is present indicating no antigen-antibody reaction occurred in stage 1.
