What Causes Blood Shot Eyes, Body Pain And Fever?

A business associate returned from a trip to India two weeks ago and was sick upon their return with very bloodshot eyes, aches and fever. A colleague who spent the week working with the associate now has the same symptoms. I've been working with the colleague and am concerned I will get whatever it is they have. Do you know what they may have?
