OT Any 'house' Fans On The Boards?

I watch House all the time however I am drawing a blank of the episodes and all the diseases covered in them. This wouldn't be such a bad thing but I need a topic for my microbiology paper and I was gonna use a disease mentioned in House to test the validity. This is when the blanking occurred. Any help?


It doesn't even have to be from House. If you can think of a cool disease for me to do my term paper on that isn't hereditary please post for me. Thanks.
