Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections, caused by Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and hookworms, are widely distributed in tropical regions and significantly contribute to morbidity and mortality. These parasites share similar life cycles, and treatment is primarily based on benzimidazoles. This study aims to describe the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of STH cases among migrants and travelers who attended the Vall d’Hebron-Drassanes International Health Unit between 2014 and 2024, the treatments administered, and their efficacy.
