In the beginning, Robert Good called immunodeficiency syndromes “experiments of nature. ” In the 1960's and subsequent decades, the clinical and immunological aspects of immune deficiencies were studied and adequate treatment attempted. A reflection of these developments were the three successful meetings on these topics in Veldhoven, The Netherlands (1980), Stirling, Scotland.
