An animal attendant at the zoo became ill. Symptoms included fever, chills, headache, severe myalgia, and malaise. This person’s urinalysis was abnormal with protein and blood present. A couple of weeks earlier, the attendant was handling the chimpanzees and one of the chimps urinated on him. What is the most likely cause of illness?
