The potential role of antecedent viral infection in the pathogenesis of Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes was investigated by measuring antibody titres to several viruses in serum obtained at the time of diagnosis of diabetes. An outbreak of Coxsackie B4 infection followed by a wave of Coxsackie B
