Consider the following medical report that includes the patient's historical health records. Use it to predict the disease that the patient is high likely exposed to. 

 Medical Report: history of present illness: the patient is a 24-year-old male with a past medical history of obesity and obstructive sleep apnea who presented with complaints of increased swelling and a neck mass times one and half weeks. the six weeks prior to admission when he was operated on for the removal of a lipoma. the operation occurred without incident, and the patient did well. approximately one and a half weeks prior to admission the patient noticed increased pain and swelling in the lateral aspect of his neck on the left side. he presented to the managed conservatively with pain management. however, the pain and swelling did not resolve. the patient then began to experience fevers and difficulty swallowing and difficulty turning his head. the patient has not had difficulty breathing. he denied trauma, insect bites, or sick contacts. presents for evaluation of his expanding neck mass. past medical history: 1. obesity. 2. obstructive sleep apnea. 3. asthma. medications on admission: home medications include albuterol. allergies: there were no known drug allergies. social history: the patient lives with his girlfriend and works at . he denied smoking, drug or alcohol use. family history: family history was remarkable for diabetes mellitus in multiple first-degree relatives. physical examination on presentation: physical examination in the emergency revealed vital signs of temperature of 103.9, heart rate 108, respiratory rate 20, blood pressure 156/60. in general, the patient was a morbidly obese african-american male sitting in a chair, breathing with some effort, but in no apparent distress. head, ears, nose, eyes and throat examination revealed normocephalic and atraumatic. pupils were equal and reactive to light. extraocular muscles were intact. neck examination revealed a warm mass posterior to the left ear about 20 cm x 8 cm long. pulmonary examination revealed decreased breath sounds throughout. coronary examination was tachycardic, normal first heart sound and second heart sound. no murmurs, rubs or gallops. the abdomen was obese, soft, nontender, and nondistended, with no rebounding, guarding or hepatosplenomegaly, and there were bowel sounds times four. extremity examination revealed 2+ peripheral pulses. no clubbing, cyanosis or edema. laboratory data on presentation: admission laboratories were white blood cell count 19.1, hemoglobin 12.7, hematocrit 35.7, platelets 215. sodium 131, potassium 4.6, chloride 92, bicarbonate 23, blood urea nitrogen 10, creatinine 0.9. radiology/imaging: ct scan of the neck revealed a splenius capitus myositis and cellulitis overlying with fluid tracking between plains. there was no evidence of abscess at that time. hospital course: 1. endocrine: the patient was newly diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. he was treated with sliding-scales which were adjusted throughout his hospital stay. during his course in the intensive care unit he was maintained on an insulin drip. 2. infectious disease: (a) neck mass: the patient was initially admitted to the general medicine floor for intravenous antibiotics, pain management, and close followup by otorhinolaryngology. infectious disease was consulted for further evaluation of the patient's neck mass, and the consultants recommended the addition of vancomycin, clindamycin, and to continue unasyn which the patient had been started on. blood cultures ultimately returned growing coagulase-positive staphylococcus. the patient's swelling continued to increase, but his respiratory status remained stable. his fevers continued as well. a chest ct examination was checked to examine for extension into the mediastinum, and this was negative. serial neck ct examinations revealed increase in edema, fat stranding, and possible abscess formation. the patient was then seen on consultation by neurosurgery to evaluate for extension into the neurologic system. on , the patient was taken to the operating room for drainage of a left posterior neck abscess, and 30 cc to 40 cc of pus was expressed and drained. extensive necrosis surrounding this are was noted. the patient remained intubated for airway protection following the procedure, and he was transferred in good condition to the surgical intensive care unit. he was followed by the medicine consultation team for ongoing diabetes management. antibiotics were continued and adjusted as required by sensitivities. on , routine laboratories revealed that the patient's hematocrit had been declining, and his white blood cell count had been increasing. clinically, the patient's neck mass began to increase in size again. that day the patient suffered an episode of hypotension to a systolic blood pressure in the 90s, and he was tachycardic. he was given large volume intravenous fluids and transfusions of packed red blood cells to restore blood volume and blood pressure. he responded well to this treatment; however, over the course of that evening the patient developed atrial flutter. the patient was felt to be septic and extubation was deferred. antibiotics were readjusted, and pressors were used p.r.n. to maintain blood pressure. on , the patient's fevers continued. the wound was explored at bedside. there was no new drainage, but there were increased adhesions. white blood cell count continued to rise. the patient was seen in consultation by the cardiology service to evaluate for his atrial flutter and to receive a transesophageal echocardiogram to rule out endocarditis. transesophageal echocardiogram was negative for endocarditis. cardiology recommended cardioversion and flecainide for stabilization of the patient's rhythm. the patient was transferred to the medical intensive care unit. his fevers persisted. white blood cell count continued to increase. hypotension continued to be treated with large volume intravenous fluids to maintain blood pressure. over the evening of , the patient developed atrial fibrillation to the 130s. he was cardioverted to normal sinus rhythm and extubation was again deferred. the patient's urine also was noted to become rust colored, and his liver function tests began to rise. a repeat ct scan was suspicious for persistent pus in the neck. on , the possibility of meningitis was entertained, and a lumbar puncture was attempted to rule out meningitis. the patient's fevers continued, and the patient developed an increasing oxygen requirement. the patient was again taken to the operating room and an incision an drainage was performed, and a drainage of prevertebral collection of fluid was drained as well. on , the fevers continued. the patient continued to require pressors as necessary to maintain blood pressure. lumbar puncture was again attempted, and this was again unsuccessful. the patient underwent bronchoscopy to remove mucous plugs felt to be contributing to the patient's increasing oxygen requirements. a repeat ct scan revealed a possible persistent neck abscess and possible lower lung collapse, possibly consistent with acute respiratory distress syndrome. on , the patient was noted to continue to require increasing oxygen. a repeat bronchoscopy was performed and some mucous plugs were obtained. the patient continued to have very high fevers with very elevated creatine kinase levels. the diagnosis of malignant hyperthermia was entertained. the patient's urine output declined, and the possibility of acute tubular necrosis secondary to rhabdomyolysis or sepsis was entertained. on , the patient was seen on consultation by nephrology. cvvhd was recommended and undertaken. for the patient's persistent very high fevers dantrolene was given for possible malignant hyperthermia. this resulted in hypothermia. the patient continued to have a worsening metabolic and respiratory acidosis over the day of . tham and bicarbonate were given to treat for this. additionally, the patient's platelets were declining, and this was felt to be consistent with disseminated intravascular coagulation. during the day of , the patient continued to have hemodynamic instability. on the morning of , the patient suffered an episode of hypotension and asystolic arrest. advanced cardiac life support protocols were initiated. the patient was successfully revived; however, remained in very critical condition. during that day, further arrests times two occurred with successful revival but continued hypotension, septic physiology, and bradycardia. family meetings were held throughout the day to update family members as events unfolded. a late day family meeting took place where the patient's critically ill status was discussed with the family. at the end of that meeting the patient again became bradycardic. at that time the patient's family determined that no further resuscitative efforts should be made. at approximately 6:15 p.m. on , the patient became bradycardic and hypotensive. no intervention was undertaken. the patient became asystolic. the patient was pronounced expired at 18:40 on . an autopsy was performed, per the family's request. discharge diagnoses: 1. diabetes mellitus. 2. staphylococcal sepsis. 3. neck abscess. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 d: 12:53 t: 04:33 job#: procedure: continuous invasive mechanical ventilation for 96 consecutive hours or more spinal tap incision of lung venous catheterization for renal dialysis closed [endoscopic] biopsy of bronchus other incision with drainage of skin and subcutaneous tissue other incision with drainage of skin and subcutaneous tissue closed biopsy of skin and subcutaneous tissue diagnoses: pneumonia, organism unspecified acute kidney failure, unspecified asthma, unspecified type, unspecified atrial flutter methicillin susceptible staphylococcus aureus septicemia morbid obesity diabetes mellitus without mention of complication, type ii or unspecified type, uncontrolled cellulitis and abscess of neck 

Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to
