Patient from India with fever and uncommon findings

Abstract

A 28-years-old male patient from India that had not travelled to his country in the last nine months presented to the emergency room with general discomfort, dysthermia feeling, sweating, chills, and shivering. In the physical examination, temperature was quantified in 40.5 °C. No neurological deficit or peripheral lymphadenopathy was found. Blood was taken and sent to the local laboratory for examination and then sent to our hospital in order to confirm the diagnosis. This sample was stored for almost 3 days at room temperature.
