This morning he noticed that his gums bled when he brushed his teeth. He returned from a backpacking trip to the Philippines 4 days ago. His temperature is 39.4C 103.0F. Physical examination shows a diffuse maculopapular rash. His leukocyte count is 3,200mm3 and platelet count is 89,000mm3. Further evaluation shows increased serum levels of a flavivirus. Which of the following is the most likely causal pathogen?? A: Chikungunya virus, B: Ebola virus, C: Hanta virus, D: Lassa virus, E: Dengue virus,  <response>: Based on the information provided in the question stem, this appears to be a case of a recent traveler to the Philippines presenting with fever, body aches, headache, eye pain, and bleeding gums after 4 days of symptoms. Lab findings show leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and evidence of a flavivirus infection. The key clues here are travel to the Philippines, the physical exam findings of a maculopapular rash, the lab abnormalities, and the presence of a flavivirus. This makes dengue virus the most likely diagnosis. Chikungunya, Ebola, Hanta, and Lassa viruses are less likely based on the geographic exposure and clinical presentation. Dengue virus is endemic to the Philippines and commonly presents with fever, rash, headaches, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia and bleeding manifestations. The other viruses have different geographic distributions and would not be expected to present in this manner.E: Dengue virus
