Relapse
Recurrence of disease - re-occurrence of disease symptoms after a period of improvement. In medicine, there are a number of such diseases that, after the first onset of illness, have subsided, but the etiological factor remains, leading to a recurrence of the disease and the return of symptoms. Relapse of the disease is not synonymous with the incurable disease. This includes but is not limited to: cancer, rheumatic diseases, autoimmune diseases, mental disorders and certain infectious diseases.
