A 20-year-old college student is your next patient in the emergency room. When you walk into the room, he is
lying on the examination table, on his side, with his arm covering his eyes. The light in the room is off. You
look at his chart and see that the nurse recorded his temperature as 102.3°F, heart rate 110 bpm, and blood
pressure 120/80 mm Hg. When you gently ask how he has been feeling, he says that for the past 3 days he has
had fever, body aches, and a progressively worsening headache. The light hurts his eyes and he is nauseated,
but he has not vomited. He has had some rhinorrhea, but no diarrhea, cough, or nasal congestion. He has no
known ill contacts. On examination, he has no skin rash, but his pupils are difficult to assess because of
