Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Allergy Cases - All participants appear on the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register (ACIR) and have received their first pertussis vaccination before the age of 16 weeks. They will have been born during the period of change over from whole cell pertussis vaccine to acellular pertussis vaccine (1997-1999). Allergy case participants have all attended allergy clinics associated with tertiary teaching hospitals. They have confirmed IgE-mediated food allergy as defined by the case description and as ascertained by their medical records.

Controls - All participants appear on the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register (ACIR) and have received their first pertussis vaccination before the age of 16 weeks. They will have been born during the period of change over from whole cell pertussis vaccine to acellular pertussis vaccine (1997-1999).

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Eligibility Criteria

1. All cases and controls must be registered on ACIR as having had a first dose of any pertussis containing vaccine before age 16 weeks and during the period of time in which the transition between aP and wP vaccine occurred; birth dates within 1st Janurary 1997 and 31st December 1999 depending on the jurisdiction.

Case Inclusion Criteria- Cases will be considered to have IgE-mediated food allergy on the basis of

1. a documented history of consistent clinical symptoms following ingestion of an implicated food, and
2. evidence of sensitisation to that food via either positive skin-prick test or elevated specific IgE to the implicated food, with onset after the first pertussis-containing vaccine but before age 15 years.

IgE-mediated food allergy is defined as BOTH:

1. The clinical notes or clinical letter arising from the allergy consult must explicitly document the presence of one or more of the following features. Onset of at least one these features must be within 1 hour of ingestion of suspected food where this can reasonably inferred from statements such as "immediate", "within x mins" where x is <60:

* urticaria
* angioedema
* emesis
* vocal hoarseness
* persistent cough
* wheeze
* stridor
* collapse
* hypotension

AND
2. Documented evidence of allergic sensitisation to the implicated food through EITHER:

* specific IgE positive (serum specific IgE >0.35KU/l) to suspected food ), OR
* positive skin prick test (wheal diameter >3mm) against suspected food (SPT) Evidence of sensitisation must be at the time of consultation or the 6 months after the clinical encounter for the case to meet definition.
