Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is at the root of diverse conditions such as stroke, leg vein thrombosis and recurrent miscarriages. It is easily prevented and treated using commonly available drugs including low-dose aspirin. This second edition fulfils the need for a cross-disciplinary clinical textbook and contains contributions from the leading international authorities.

Described as one of the major new diseases of the late 20th century, APS is a disease of multi-specialty and is of increasing interest to obstetricians, rheumatologists, hematologists, dermatologists, neurologists and immunologists.
