disease characterised by fibrosis and worsening of lung function. It should |
require extensive and permanent oxygen therapy of at least 8 hours per day. |
Lung function test consistently showing FVC ≤50% and DLCO ≤35% of |
predicted value. |
The unequivocal diagnosis must be confirmed with lung biopsy and by a |
specialist in respiratory medicine. |
8. Infective Endocarditis |
Infective Endocarditis |

(b) Presence of at least moderate heart valve incompetence (meaning |
regurgitant fraction of 20% or above) or moderate heart valve stenosis |
(resulting in heart valve area of 30% or less of normal value) attributable to |
Infective Endocarditis; and |
(c) The diagnosis of Infective Endocarditis and the severity of valvular |
impairment are confirmed by a registered medical practitioner who is a |
cardiologist. |
