Pancreatic isleitis with coxsackie virus B5 infection

N Ahmad et al. Hum Pathol. 1982 Jul.

Abstract

Coxsackie group B virus infection may be responsible for some cases of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. However, Coxsackie B5 virus is rarely implicated in this respect. The authors observed striking pancreatic islet cell damage in an infant who died of a Coxsackie B5 virus infection. The inflammatory response consisted of mononuclear cells, and the acinar tissue was completely uninvolved.
