In a 2024 interview with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner David Shore explained why lupus was so popular with the “House” writing staff: “We were looking for diseases that could be serious but could manifest in a lot of different ways. And unfortunately for many — for us, it was fortunate — lupus was the perfect disease for us! It was a disease that manifested in a lot of ways, and so it could be the wrong diagnosis many times. And so we just kind of embraced that and ran with that.”
