الإجابة: D. Dengue fever
Acute fever with headache and malaise after outdoor exposure in a coastal (mosquito) setting plus a petechial rash points to dengue fever, which is mosquito-borne, endemic in Jeddah, and causes haemorrhagic manifestations such as petechiae. Malaria lacks a petechial rash; Salmonella and leptospirosis are not supported by the lecture for this picture.

ليش غلط
Malaria (Anopheles mosquito) typically gives high fever, sweating, hepatosplenomegaly and jaundice; a bleeding tendency, up to DIC, is described in severe cases. No jaundice, splenomegaly or organ dysfunction is described here, so a petechial rash with this picture fits dengue better.

Dengue is mosquito-borne and starts with fever, malaise and severe headache, and its hemorrhagic form gives petechiae (with epistaxis or gum bleeding).
