The 1,275 babies were under 18 months old and had previously reacted to peanut and tested positive for allergy.

Researchers at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute and partner hospitals gave infants increasing amounts of peanut under medical supervision to check for a reaction.

The findings suggest that a previous reaction and allergy test may not be enough to confirm the diagnosis in some babies.
