German term

Infektexacerbationen

German to English Medical Medical (general)
From a medical history record:
"chronisch rezidivierende Infektexacerbationen". Does anyone know what "Infektexacerbationen" is?

I would appreciate any suggestions.

exacerbation of infection

The German word is a countable noun, but the singular "infection" (referring to infection(s) in a general sense) needs to be used here.

See references.

Good luck.

The somewhat less formal "worsening of infection" would also work here.
