Pretty leprosy

[edit]

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]
