Hi everybody! This Forum Game is based in the series "House MD".

It works like that: I tell the symptoms and the users try to find out what disease is. They may look on other sites to find out. As House's diagnosis are too complicated, the diseases here will be easier. Each user have 3 guesses. Let's begin...

Patient: 30-year-old female.

Symptoms: Severe headache, nasal congestion, toothache and lacrimation (she is tearing for no apparent reason). Facial X-Ray is showing an anomaly.

Can you discover what it is? Tip: is a common condition caused by inflamation of the facial bones.

He has Camurati-Engelmann Disease. As you said, there is no cure, but symptoms can be relieved through corticosteroid use.

I'm guessing that it is a food-borne illness.

Maybe Salmonella?

I don't think I'm right on this, but strep throat?
In which case, you would probably treat with antibiotics like penicillin and amoxicillin.

Do we have to treat the patient as well?

No, but you get extra points if you do.

Also, my new guess is bacterial gastroenteritis. In which case, the patient should drink lots of water, and take general antibiotics until the symptoms pass.

Hypermnestra: The treatment is working fine, but, as House himself would do, this case will not be finished until the disease is discovered.

Leave your guesses here. I will leave the computer for a while. See ya later!
