There is evidence that infection by Coxsackie viruses can serve as an environmental "trigger" for insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). This background information is summarized briefly, and the data in the IDDM component of Genetic Analysis Workshop 5 (GAWS) concerning serum antibodies to Cox

## Abstract A study was undertaken to determine the prevalence and risk factors for serological evidence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Tests for antiβHCV antibody were carried out by enzymeβlinked immunoassay (EIA) on 101 HIVβ
## Abstract ## Objective To examine whether dendritic cells (DCs) are constituents of muscle inflammation in juvenile dermatomyositis (DM). ## Methods The types, numbers, and activation state of DC subsets in inflamed muscle tissue from patients with juvenile DM and in noninflamed muscle tissue
From 1979 to 1981, a total of 910 cardiac patients and 776 noncardiac patients were studied and compared for evidence of coxsackie B virus infections. Of 78 cardiac patients with coxsackie B infection, 30 had pleurodynia, 18 myocarditis, and 20 pericarditis. The age-adjusted rates of infection per 1
In order to study the prevalence of antibody to hepatitis E virus (HEV) among hemodialysis patients and to evaluate whether chronic hemodialysis is associated with an increased risk of exposure to HEV in developed countries, the IgG anti-HEV was determined in serum samples obtained from 182 patients
