During an epidemiologic investigation of pandemic infl uenza (H1N1) 2009 virus infection in May 2009 in Osaka, Japan, we found 3 clusters in which virus transmission occurred during the presymptomatic phase. This fi nding has public health implications because it indicates that viral transmission in communities cannot be prevented solely by isolating symptomatic case-patients.
