Sera from 104 individuals splenectomized because of abdominal trauma were examined for the occurrence of 9 different autoantibodies. Our findings indicate that the occurrence of autoantibodies in splenectomized individuals without systemic disease is not increased and does not differ significantly from that found in an age‐ and sex‐matched control population.
