A green aracari (Pteroglossus viridis) was presented for necropsy after being found dead; no previous clinical signs had been noted. Microscopic examination revealed multifocal necrosis of the liver, spleen, and lung compatible with an acute bacteremia. Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated from the liver, kidney, and intestine. Histopathological and toxicological findings also reflected a concurrent hepatopathy due to excess iron accumulation. Hepatic hemosiderosis has been reported in mynahs, birds of paradise, and quetzals but has not previously been reported in the green aracari.
一只绿阿拉卡鹦鹉（Pteroglossus viridis）被发现死亡后进行了尸检；之前未观察到任何临床症状。显微镜检查显示肝脏、脾脏和肺部有多灶性坏死，符合急性菌血症。从肝脏、肾脏和肠道中分离出肺炎克雷伯菌。组织病理学和毒理学检查结果还反映出由于铁过量积累导致的并发肝病。八哥、极乐鸟和凤尾绿咬鹃中曾有肝铁沉积症的报道，但绿阿拉卡鹦鹉此前未见相关报道。
