On July 19, 2006, the director of a children's aquatic sports day camp notified the Miami-Dade County Health Department (MDCHD) of three campers who had received a diagnosis of cutaneous larva migrans (CLM), or "creeping eruption," a skin condition typically caused by dog or cat hookworm larvae of the genus Ancylostoma. MDCHD conducted an investigation to determine the source and magnitude of the outbreak and prevent additional illness. This report summarizes the results of that investigation, which identified exposure to cat feces in a playground sandbox as the likely source of infection. Although CLM outbreaks are reported rarely to the Florida Department of Health, evidence indicates that CLM is a potential health hazard in Florida. This disease cluster highlights the importance of appropriate environmental hygiene practices and education in preventing CLM.
2006年7月19日，一家儿童水上运动日营的负责人向迈阿密-戴德县卫生部门（MDCHD）通报了三名被诊断患有皮肤幼虫移行症（CLM）或“匐行疹”的营员，这是一种通常由钩口线虫属的犬或猫钩虫幼虫引起的皮肤疾病。MDCHD展开调查以确定疫情的源头和规模，并防止更多人患病。本报告总结了该调查的结果，调查确定在游乐场沙箱中接触猫粪是可能的感染源。尽管向佛罗里达州卫生部报告的CLM疫情很少，但有证据表明CLM在佛罗里达州是一种潜在的健康危害。这一疾病聚集凸显了适当的环境卫生措施和教育在预防CLM方面的重要性。
