title: [Viral implications in the etiopathogenesis of type 1 diabetes: current update].
abstract: Type 1 diabetes mellitus results from autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells. After having described genetic, immunological and metabolic factors, some researchers have hypothezised that environmental factors might trigger the autoimmune process. Based on epidemiological, anatomoclinical and animal studies, they suggest a role for virus infections.
