  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;We describe a case of erysipelas in a free-ranging endangered Hawaiian crow. The partially scavenged carcass exhibited gross emaciation and petechial hemorrhages in both lungs. Microscopy revealed multiple necrotic foci associated with gram-positive rods in the liver and adrenal, diffuse acute proximal tubular necrosis of kidney, diffuse necrosis and inflammation of proventricular mucosa associated with gram-positive rods, and multiple intravascular aggregates of gram-positive rods associated with thrombi. Culture of the kidney revealed the bacterium to be &lt;i&gt;Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae&lt;/i&gt;. The implications of this finding to free-ranging crows remain unclear.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
