Investigadores australianos informaron que aproximadamente un tercio de los bebés que habían dado positivo en la prueba de alergia al maní toleraron el fruto durante pruebas alimentarias supervisadas, lo que ha llevado a recomendar la re-evaluación rutinaria. El estudio, realizado en diez hospitales públicos de Melbourne por el Instituto de Investigación Infantil Murdoch y el Centro Nacional de Excelencia en Alergias, reveló que el 35 % de los niños menores de 18 meses diagnosticados previamente con alergia al maní no reaccionaron, lo que sugiere un sobrediagnóstico y la necesidad de pruebas de confirmación antes de iniciar tratamientos a largo plazo.
