The symptoms described are consistent with a diagnosis of syphilis, which is caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. Fever and malaise are common symptoms in the early stages of syphilis, and the rash typically appears on the chest, arms, and feet. Nesseria (A), HPV (B), HSV-2 (C), and Candida (D) do not typically cause these symptoms.
