: We observed Sanderlings ( Calidris alba) with facial growths in coastal Louisiana, US during summer of 2016. Severe lesions were associated with lethargy and lack of a flight response. We determined that the skin growth etiology was a bacterium of the genus Dermatophilus, rarely reported infecting birds. Sanderlings also exhibited severe amyloidosis.
2016年夏季，我们在美国路易斯安那州沿海观察到长嘴半蹼鹬（Calidris alba）面部出现肿物。严重病变与嗜睡和缺乏飞行反应有关。我们确定皮肤肿物的病因是嗜皮菌属的一种细菌，这种细菌很少被报道感染鸟类。长嘴半蹼鹬还表现出严重的淀粉样变。
