Brief Answer:
Printing error.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the query.

I have gone through the report and as you have mentioned all are negative. Regarding HIGHLIGHTED, I feel that it could be a printing error.

From the medications, I feel that your doctor would have suspected Viral fever and by now hope his fever would have reduced completely.

Hope this answers your query. If any further clarifications, will be happy to help you.

Regards.
