Abstract

The topic of antiphospholipid antibodies has generated a significant amount of interest among physicians and researchers of multiple subdisciplines over the last 28 years. Thirteen international congresses have been conducted from 1984 to 2010. This introductory chapter highlights the contents of those scientific gatherings, which clearly depicted the evolution and the continued enthusiasm on gaining new knowledge in the field of Antiphospholipid Syndrome.
