it's so fitting and clever that one of house's specialties is infectious disease (the other is nephrology, both fall under internal medicine - which, unrelated, is also thirteen's specialty). it's such a small detail, but it seems to me the writers did that deliberately because house's diagnostic style is so clearly inspired and shaped by ID, even when he isn't diagnosing a patient with an infection - his constant insistence on thorough and accurate histories (and getting annoyed when his fellows fail to get them), using clues outside the patient's symptoms alone, digging into patients' lives to find more information, etc

i read about ID docs diagonising someone who wasn't getting better with treatment with lyme disease in 5 minutes out of clinic which saved them from unnecessary surgery, and figuring out someone has psittacosis because of the bird magazine they brought to the hospital. if that's not some the most house-sounding shit ever i don't know what is

#although something i havent paid attention to: how often does he put his patients on antibiotics? he openly espouses responsible antibiotic #use in the first season but i stopped paying attention after if he stuck to it #truly unbelieveable that it took him so long to get foreman's naegleria btw it's rare but such a fascinating amoeba...#exactly the kind of thing you'd expect house to know about for fun #im not in medicine btw this is just stuff i hear from people i know who are + the digging i do out of curiosity #there was an ooold post i saw somewhere that analyzed everyone's medical specialties as facets of their personality #right down to cuddy as an endocrinologist. i wish i could find it #house md #houseposting #vaaya moodu

Excerpt from this story from EcoWatch:

Naegleria fowleri is a rare and dangerous single-cell organism that typically lives in freshwater or soil — specifically, warm water or soil. So as temperatures climb around the world due to climate change, the deadly Naegleria fowleri can spread in locations it isn’t normally found.

As explained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Naegleria fowleri can contaminate warm freshwater. Then, as people go swimming in infected waters, the Naegleria fowleri, also known as brain-eating amoeba, enters through the nose, travels upward and begins destroying brain tissue. The amoeba causes a disease called primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), which is rare but highly lethal.

The Naegleria fowleri grows in warm waters, above 80°F, and thrives in temperatures up to 115°F. So in the U.S., it has usually been an issue in southern states or in northern states during the summer. But as climate change causes an increase in temperatures across the country, Naegleria fowleri has more opportunities to spread.

It has been found as far north as Minnesota, and a child died from Naegleria fowleri in Nebraska last month. The brain-eating amoeba was also confirmed in the Lake of Three Fires in Iowa this summer and caused another death.

Naegleria fowleri infections often occur after someone swam in a freshwater source, such as a lake or river. But the amoeba may also contaminate naturally warm waters, like in hot springs, or can spread in poorly maintained pools. Some cases have also been linked to nasal irrigation.
