| 6 |  ;;Narrative:  Many infectious diseases, immune disorders, and
 | 
|---|
| 7 |  ;;nutritional deficiencies have acute phases at onset and 
 | 
|---|
| 8 |  ;;accompanying recurrences but leave little or no residual 
 | 
|---|
| 9 |  ;;disability beyond the acute phase.  Other such conditions may 
 | 
|---|
| 10 |  ;;present with slow progression and show significant residual 
 | 
|---|
| 11 |  ;;disability.  The examiner must diligently search for residual 
 | 
|---|
| 12 |  ;;disabilities upon which adjudication of the case may be made.
