No.

Scurvy is a medical condition, not a symptom of a medical condition.

While leprosy is also a medical condition, it also has symptoms that are particularly associated with leprosy - in this case, the hallmark scales.

Scabs by themselves are not medical condition, and are almost exclusively a symptom of something else.

The latter two lend themselves well to the use of an adjective since they are both visible symptoms. While there are hallmark symptoms of scurvy, there is not one symptom that readily avails itself to the naked eye.

Besides, the word scurvous doesn't exist. And you call yourself a grammar nazi. I'm sending you a dictionary.

I do believe "kempt" exists on its own. I actually use "kempt" more than its negative form.

It does... And it doesn't. Kempt actually pre-dates unkempt in the surviving record of the language, but it more or less vanished from English usage some five hundred years ago. It was only revived relatively recently in some contexts as a back-formation neologism from unkempt, which oddly first appeared in the language almost a century after kempt fell out of use.

Both words descend from a Germanic and ultimately Proto Indo-European root that means something to do with teeth, and are distantly related to comb, as in combing your hair. I believe kempt was a past-participle of an Old English verb "to comb", meaning a kempt person is someone "having-been-combed".
