Hookworm was the most prevalent maternal worm (45%). Childhood worms were less prevalent. Eczema incidence was 4.68\/100 person\u2010years. Maternal hookworm was associated with reduced eczema incidence [adjusted hazard ratio (95% confidence interval), p\u2010value: 0.71(0.51\u20130.99), 0.04] and modified effects of known risk factors for eczema: Dermatophagoides\u2010specific IgE in children was positively associated with eczema incidence if the mother had no hookworm [2.72(1.11\u20136.63), 0.03], but not if the mother had hookworm [0.41(0.10\u20131.69), 0.22], interaction p\u2010value\u00a0=\u00a00.03. Similar interactions were seen for maternal history of eczema {[2.87(1.31\u20136.27, 0.008) vs. [0.73(0.23\u20132.30), 0.60], interaction p\u2010value\u00a0=\u00a00.05}, female gender {[1.82(1.22\u20132.73), 0.004 vs. [0.96(0.60\u20131.53), 0.87], interaction p\u2010value\u00a0=\u00a00.04} and allergen\u2010specific IgE.
