    The symptoms of fever with chills, headache, nausea, and diarrhea along with low levels of leukocytes and platelets suggest.

    The young and avid outdoorsman has:

    A. Ehrlichiosis.

    Explanation:

    A. ehrlichiosis: The symptoms for this disease are: Mild fever, Headache, Chills, Muscle aches, Nausea, Vomiting, and diarrhea.

    B. tularemia: The symptoms for this disease include Fever, chills, pink eye, headache, muscle pain, breathing problems, and ulcers. So i is incorrect.

    C. Chagas disease: The symptoms for this disease are: Swelling, fever, So it is incorrect.

    D. brucellosis: The symptoms for this disease are: Joint and muscle pain, fever, weight loss, and fatigue.

    E. Lyme disease: The symptoms for this disease are: Rash, bulls-eye pattern, and flu-like symptoms.
