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: patient is a pleasant 38-year-old hispanic male, who was working at a job site and helping a colleague paint, when he fell approximately feet off of a ladder landing directly on his back. patient had immediate pain in his low back and neck region. he was subsequently transferred to hospital, where workup revealed the presence of a c7 burst fracture and a right l4 transverse process fracture. he was placed in a hard cervical collar, and treated with spine precautions. he was neurologically intact at the time of his presentation. he was subsequently transferred to the trauma surgery intensive care unit, where he was closely monitored for a 24-hour period. his neurologic status remained intact with no evidence of neurologic deficit. he was subsequently transferred to the general care floor, where he was again maintained on spine precautions. as he remained neurologically stable over three-day period, he was felt to be stable for operative stabilization of his fracture. he was subsequently taken to the operating room on , where he underwent a c7 corpectomy followed by c6 to t1 anterior spinal fusion with instrumentation. he tolerated that procedure well with no apparent intraoperative or postoperative complications. he was noted to be neurologically intact with no evidence of deficit following his procedure. postoperative course was essentially unremarkable. the patient was up and ambulating on postoperative day #1 in his hard cervical collar without difficulty. he was initially treated with iv narcotic analgesics, but was easily transitioned to oral pain medications. patient received perioperative antibiotics as well subcutaneous heparin, and stockings, and sequential compression devices for dvt prophylaxis. as the patient was tolerating a general diet without restriction and had full return of bowel and bladder function, and had adequate pain control on oral narcotic analgesics, he was felt to be medically stable for discharge home on . patient was unable to receive a mri scan of the cervical spine preoperatively secondary to retained bullet fragments from a gunshot wound previously resulting in a femur fracture. as such, ligamentous injury in the region of the fracture could not be adequately assessed. at this point, the patient will undergo flexion and extension views during his first postoperative visit with reassessment of cervical spinal stability. patient may ultimately require a posterior cervical fusion and wiring in the future. discharge instructions: the patient will follow up with dr. in days for wound check and suture removal. he will follow up sooner should he experience fevers, chills, worsening pain, wound drainage, or other concerns. discharge activity: the patient may be up as tolerated in his hard cervical collar. he will have his hard cervical collar on at all times until followup. discharge diet: general without restriction. discharge medications: percocet 1-2 tablets p.o. q.4-6h. prn pain. , m.d. dictated by: medquist36 procedure: other cervical fusion of the anterior column, anterior technique excision of intervertebral disc repair of vertebral fracture insertion of interbody spinal fusion device fusion or refusion of 2-3 vertebrae diagnoses: other disorders of bone and cartilage closed fracture of lumbar vertebra without mention of spinal cord injury surgical or other procedure not carried out because of contraindication closed fracture of seventh cervical vertebra accidental fall from ladder accidents occurring in industrial places and premises late effect of fracture of neck of femur late effects of injury purposely inflicted by other person 

Answer: The patient is high likely exposed to
