I'm not sure how close the writers of House MD come to actual medicine, but they seem to have a lot of it correct. In once episode, a patient was diagnosed with "Profuse lepromatous leprosy" and House said it was also known as "pretty leprosy." This was allegedly because it is a form of leprosy that can cause skin to look younger in some situations. Any know anything about this? Would be interesting to read about. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.215.128.112 ( talk) 16:53, 27 January 2010 (UTC) reply
