HOUSE�S YOUNG PATIENT BELIEVES HIS ILLNESS IS THE RESULT OF A CURSE WHILE HOUSE UNCOVERS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT CHASE�S FATHER ON "HOUSE" FRIDAY, APRIL 6, ON FOX

A 12-year-old boy believes he�s cursed after a Ouija board tells him he�s going to die. His father, a major financial supporter of the hospital, makes escalating demands of House and the team as they try to diagnose the boy�s pneumonia-like symptoms and incongruous rash. The tension intensifies when House invites Chase�s estranged father, a renowned doctor visiting from Australia, into their circle of diagnosticians � much to Chase�s discomfort � and House is intrigued by Chase�s lack of relationship with his father. When the boy�s diagnosis becomes more evident, the young patient is forced to face the idea that his father may not be everything he believes in the "Cursed� episode of HOUSE Friday, April 6 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
