On June 15, 2001, local physicians reported 11 cases of diarrhea to a county health department. Stool samples from two of these persons were culture confirmed as Shigella sonnei, one person was hospitalized. A preliminary investigation found that nine of these persons recently had visited a large city park with a wading pool. The Iowa Department of Public Health was asked to assist in an investigation of this outbreak. This report summarizes the results of the investigation, which implicated the inadequately disinfected wading pool as the source of the outbreak and presents strategies for preventing such outbreaks.
