Commonly occurring in tropical and subtropical regions with compromised sanitation, this condition typically involves concurrent infestations by soil-transmitted nematodes such as *Ascaris lumbricoides*, *Trichuris trichiura*, and hookworms (*Necator americanus* or *Ancylostoma duodenale*), as well as cestodes or trematodes
