✦ Synopsis

This report describes classical Type 1 insulin deficient diabetes mellitus (DM) arising in twins aged 14 months, both of whom had evidence of enterovirus infection. The diagnosis of Type 1 DM was made in the second twin within 12 days of the first. Enterovirus infection was detected in each twin at diagnosis by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Both twins were negative for enterovirus by PCR 5 months following diagnosis, although both were then positive for islet cell antibodies. Sequencing of the amplicons produced by PCR suggested that the viruses from each twin were not the same but that they were both variants related to echovirus 6.

Enterovirus infections may initiate and accelerate the beta-cell damaging process leading to Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus (Type 1 DM). Recent prospective studies have suggested that this can happen long before overt disease and even in utero. We describe an infant, followed regularly

Hyperfiltration occurs early in diabetes mellitus and has been implicated in the development of microalbuminuria. Our aim was to re-examine the controversial relationship between glycaemic control and glomerular filtration (GFR) in normoalbuminuric, normotensive, non-obese patients with short durati

## Abstract ## Background There are emerging data that simultaneous pancreas–kidney transplant (SPK) prolongs life compared with kidney transplant alone (KTA) in type 1 diabetics with end-stage renal disease. This study was a retrospective comparison of SPK with KTA in patients with type 1 diabete
