patient\'s medical history
This is from a list of diagnoses listed in a hospital admission report for an 80-year old patient. The admitting diagnosis is Cuadro Séptico, followed by a list of other diagnoses: insuficiencia vertebrobasilar, encefalopatía degenerativa crónica, cardiopatía isquémica, enfermedad renal crónica, hipotiroidismo primario, ... and at the end of the list comes "enfermedad pluripatológica y frágil".
I haven't come across the term "pluripatológico" before. Google Translate gives several possibilities, including "multimorbidity", and we have "multiple pathology" or "with multiple pathology" in a previous KudoZ question ... but I could still use your suggestions for translating this whole phrase. I also can't tell if the word "frágil" applies to the disease or to the patient.
Thanks for your help.

comorbidity
See the links below. It seems to be the correct medical term for a patient with more than on particular illness
Note from asker:
| Hi Gordon, and thanks for your answer as well. I think co-morbidity might have worked here also, but "multiple morbidities" describes the situation here more precisely. |
