However, little A<\/jats:styled-content>ustralian data exist. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of OAS<\/jats:styled-content> in an atopic, paediatric population.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Methods<\/jats:title>This cross\u2010sectional study assessed 163 patients aged 4\u201317 years from the P<\/jats:styled-content>aediatric A<\/jats:styled-content>llergy & I<\/jats:styled-content>mmunology C<\/jats:styled-content>linic at C<\/jats:styled-content>ampbelltown H<\/jats:styled-content>ospital, which serves a population base >250\u2009000 with approximately 28% under the age of 18 years. A questionnaire was administered and skin prick tests (SPT<\/jats:styled-content>s) were performed utilising commercial extracts and fresh and frozen fruit samples. Frozen samples were created by reducing fresh fruit to a semi\u2010solid state and storing at \u221220 degrees Celsius for up to 6 months.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Within the studied population, the prevalence of OAS<\/jats:styled-content> was 14.7%, PFS<\/jats:styled-content> 4.9%, PFS<\/jats:styled-content> in those with allergic rhinitis 6.25% and PFS<\/jats:styled-content> in those with allergic rhinitis and pollen sensitisation 12.1%. All PFS<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010implicated fruits were tropical fruits with watermelon the most common. The prevalence of OAS<\/jats:styled-content> caused by food allergy was 13.6%, implicating peanut most frequently. The most common cause of OAS<\/jats:styled-content> was immunoglobulin E<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010mediated food allergy (57.9%). Only frozen samples of watermelon, pineapple and rockmelon produced results consistent with the \u2018gold standard\u2019 of fresh fruit SPT<\/jats:styled-content>.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusion<\/jats:title>This study suggests the prevalence of OAS<\/jats:styled-content> and PFS<\/jats:styled-content> are more common in paediatric populations than previously described, with tropical fruits predominantly implicated in PFS<\/jats:styled-content>.
