House Challenge Season Six
Season Six of House starts two weeks from today on September 21st, so it’s time to begin this year’s House challenge.
It’s free, it’s fun, it’s easy. Here’s how to play:
Each week, your list will be compared against the show. Scoring is as follows:
3 points if the team actually tests for the condition.
3 points if your diagnosis is featured in a clinic scene (or other side plot).
5 points if the team treats the condition (or supposed condition).
12 points if it’s actually the correct final answer (or one of the answers) of the episode.
Please note: If your diagnosis is close, but not specific enough (for example “meningitis” when the team tests for “viral meningitis”) you will earn 1/3 the points.
Scores will be collated each week and a running total will be kept. Scores will be posted as soon as possible (my goal is by late night the day of the show, but it may take longer depending on how much real life intrudes). After the final episode of the season, a winner will be crowned!
To play the full season, your list must be posted in the comments section by 7pm (Central time) September 21st — the night the season starts. Later entries are accepted and will start accruing points the following week.
The spam filter likes to hold on to these lists, so if yours doesn’t appear right away, don’t panic. If it’s been at least six hours and it still hasn’t shown up, drop me a line and I’ll hunt it down.
Here are last year’s final scores.

Addison’s -AND- Cushing’s, Scott? Goodness, if the team does anything at all with cortisol levels, you’re covered! That’s crafty gamesmanship; I went for the romance of relatively obscure stuff that may net me bigger points, less frequently.
I dredged up my first list from October 2007, threw out some ideas which were too vague or had been done a lot already, then got Harrison’s and went hunting for things I thought the writers would find cool.
1. TACO (transfusion-associated circulatory overload)
2. Arrythmia brought on by energy drink/sports drink
3. Physiologic Vertigo
4. SLE (Lupus)
5. Teratoma
6. Periodic Paralysis/ “Channelopathy”

I thought, that I would write either the Fungal Pneumonia or the Parasitic Pneumonia (for number four). I think if they were to show us (on «Тhe Doctor House») a parasitic pneumonia, it would be much more entertainments, but fungal pneumonia is more possible.

Again, I’ll make my predictions psychiatric or neuropsychiatric. As I haven’t seen all the past seasons a number of these have probably been covered and are unlikely to reappear.
Frontotemporal dementia
Paranoid personality disorder
Frontal lobe seizures
Asperger’s Syndrome
Panic disorder with agoraphobia
Neurocysticercosis
Body dysmorphic disorder
Koro
Anticholinergic delirium
Pseudocyesis

10.Huntington’s Disease
September 15th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
Hi:
I’m new here, but thought that this sounded like fun.
1. Foreign body (up the nose, in the airway, in the bowels… wherever)
2. Schizophrenia
3. Paradoxical drug reaction to opioids
4. Leptospirosis
5. Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (AKA prion disease)
6. Hand, foot and Mouth disease
7. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)
8. Clostridium difficile
9. Tetanus
10. Botulism
By the way, shouldn’t Huntington’s and drug addiction and various psychiatric diseases be considered cheating? After all, we know that House is in a psychiatric facility as the season starts and that 13 has Huntington’s. Anyway, I’ll see your Huntington’s and raise you Schizophrenia. Or does this challenge just apply to patients and not main protagonists on the show?

I’m not going to check other lists, so apologies for duplicates. Like Lupus; one of the DVD collections actually has a bonus feature called “Maybe it’s Lupus” containing just clips of team members suggesting that diagnosis. It’s funny.
Last year I listed mostly things with intriguing symptoms, but I can’t find that original post here. This year I’ll combine that with a few things designed to actually earn me some points.
