26) Scoliose structurale évolutive( dont l'angle est egal ou supérieur à 25° ) jusqu'à maturation rachidienne.
Progressive Scoliosis (where the angle is equal or more than 25°) up to spinal maturity.
Permanent lateral deviation of the spine with rotation of the vertebral bodies.
Cause uncertain but may run in families usually diagnosed in middle childhood though some scolioses are apparent at birth due to Spina bifida, cerebral palsy etc.
Tends to progress, the 25° angle is an indication of severity. Basis of treatment is to obtain by the end of growth a spine as straight and balanced as possible, by use of plasters, corsets, surgery.
Exemption for scolioses of 25° and above and for infantile scolioses of a smaller angle requiring orthopaedic treatment.
It's not dark yet ......but it's getting there.

29) Tuberculose active
Active Tuberculosis. A common and serious infectious disease,caused by a Mycobacterium. Usually affects lungs but can involve other organs.
Although a common infection throughout the world most people who are infected have a "latent" asymptomatic form. This may however progress to active disease (10%) and this is a serious condition requiring long-term medication ( up to a year) of 2 or more drugs
Diagnosis is by isolating the organism or microscopic study of the lesions, however, treatment may begin on clinical diagnosis before confirmed diagnosis.
Seen more often now in people with a compromised immunology ( due to immuno-suppressive medication or disease e.g AIDS) and due to widespread travel to regions where Tuberculosis is common
Treatment effective so exemption is granted but reviewed on 6 month /yearly basis - when "cured" subsequent radiological follow-up may not be exempt.
