What is your diagnosis?...

A 55 year old American photographer returned home after a six-week trip to the game parks of Tanzania. Four weeks after return, he developed headache, myalgia, arthralgia, weight loss and intermittent fever. The patient is noticeably confused and distracted, and physical examination reveals hepatosplenomegaly and lymphadenopathy in the supraclavicular and cervical regions. The hemogram is normal, but the cerebrospinal fluid contains 20 lymphocytes per mm3.
