Abstract #1408228: Potential Association Among Enteroviruses, Acute Flaccid Myelitis and Type 1 Diabetes

Non-polio enteroviruses, like EV-D68, caused a nationwide outbreak of respiratory illness in the US in the fall of 2021. It has been shown that EV-D68 plays a role in causing acute flaccid myelitis (AFM). In addition, the association between enterovirus infections and type 1 diabetes (T1DM) has been widely studied and established.
