A 45-yeаr-оld mаle is brоught tо the emergency room by his wife becаuse he has been acting confused for the past day. He is febrile, with an oral temperature of 103.6 deg F; vital signs are otherwise stable. His physical exam is significant for the finding shown (see image); he has never noticed lesions like these before. He also has subtle right-sided weakness affecting upper and lower extremities. Labs reveal: hemoglobin 7.0 g/dL, hematocrit 21%, white blood count 10,200 with normal diff, and platelet count 20,000. PT/INR and PTT are normal. A peripheral blood smear is shown (see image). What is the most likely diagnosis?
