If it is a root rot problem (water moulds mentioned above) then the spores in the soil (which are ubiquitous Hawaiian soils) spread the disease. Tearing out one infected plant will probably not prevent the spread of other plants.
And that's assuming it's a root rot problem. It might just be nutrient deficiency.
Typically root rot occurs in low lying areas with poor drainage. Most of puna has rocky soils with excellent drainage however this may not necessarily be the case for your specific locale.
I would give it some nitrogen and wait and see what happens.
