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.
