Pertussis booster vaccination and immediate hypersensitivity.

C G Gifford, E C Gonsior, G V Villacorte

    Annals of Allergy
    |June 1, 1985

    Summary

    Pertussis booster vaccinations did not affect histamine sensitivity or IgE antibody responses to ragweed in preschool children, regardless of atopic status. This suggests pertussis immunization does not alter allergic responses to common environmental allergens.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Allergy and Asthma Research
    • Pediatric Medicine

    Background:

    • Pertussis booster vaccinations are routine in childhood.
    • The potential impact of pertussis immunization on allergic sensitization remains an area of investigation.
    • Understanding immune responses in atopic versus non-atopic children is crucial for allergy management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effect of pertussis booster vaccination on cutaneous histamine sensitivity.
    • To assess the impact of pertussis booster vaccination on IgE antibody response to ragweed aeroallergen.
    • To compare these effects in atopic and non-atopic preschool children.

    Main Methods:

    • Study included 12 non-atopic and 27 atopic preschool children.
    • Histamine and ragweed skin prick tests were performed before and after pertussis booster vaccination.

  • Ragweed-specific IgE antibody levels were measured using Radioallergosorbent Test (RAST) before and after vaccination.
  • Allergy assessments were conducted after the ragweed pollination season.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant changes in histamine skin sensitivity were observed in either atopic or non-atopic groups post-vaccination.
    • Ragweed-specific IgE antibody levels (RAST) showed no significant alteration following pertussis booster immunization.
    • Cutaneous reactivity to ragweed extract also remained unchanged in both study groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Pertussis booster vaccination does not appear to influence immediate hypersensitivity reactions to histamine.
    • The study found no evidence that pertussis booster immunization affects IgE antibody production against the common aeroallergen, ragweed.
    • These findings suggest that pertussis booster vaccination does not modulate allergic responses to environmental allergens in preschool-aged children.
