I hear he has low platelets. With mental status changes/confusion, in addition to low platelets, Arafat may have a rare disease known as TTP (Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura). I bet he has the fever, renal failure, and microangiopathic anemia to complete the pentad required for the diagnosis of TTP, too. In which case he'll need plasmapheresis. Just my wild guess.
