Is there some hidden joke behind the “it's never lupus” running gag in House?
What was the “It Could Be” running joke on House MD?
There is a common running gag in the series House, that no matter what the symptoms of the patient are, it's never going to be lupus. Although if I remember properly in one episode it was.
Is this maybe some type of medical joke? I don't know much about medicine but I know that lupus, though not common is not that rare, so I don't think the joke makes much sense, especially in a series that shows conditions that are way way more rare than lupus in the USA, like leprosy or genetic chimerism.

I believe lupus is an exclusionary diagnosis, which means if you have any symptoms of lupus and you’re not diagnosed with anything else, it’s like a fallback diagnosis. I’m not sure if it’s a joke but from House’s point of view, suggesting it’s lupus is the same as giving up, which he never does.

Because lupus is very hard to diagnose, as in initial stage symptoms are very generic to be considered as lupus. So either they have to test so many people for lupus or consider it as the last resort. Why House use it is being part of so many online arilces, such as from The Conversation
So why is it never lupus? Is it because its symptoms make it easily mistaken for other illnesses or the difficulty of making a diagnosis? Yes and yes but surely this can’t stand in the way of Dr House’s abilities.
Maybe lupus is invoked because it doesn’t have the option of a miracle cure at the end of the episode.
But lupus did occur in the patient in You Don't Want To Know (S04E08)
