Description:During a 2-week period in August 2011, two patients in a long-term care facility in Miami-Dade County, Florida, had gastrointestinal symptoms; microscopic examination of stool specimens showed that both harbored Strongyloides stercoralis, an intestinal nematode. A subsequent chart review revealed an additional case within the facility 1 year earlier. Concerned about the possibility of an outbreak, the associate director of patient care services at the facility contacted the Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County and the Florida State Department of Health, which contacted CDC. This report describes the subsequent investigation.
