Abstract
Viral hypotheses for the aetiopathogenesis of autoimmune diseases are unproven. Indeed, a primary role for virus-induced autoimmune disease has yet to be fully established even in experimental systems. However new insights into virus-host interactions and improved technology justify fresh evaluation of these issues. We suggest modified Koch's postulates to test the viral hypothesis.
