Patient bed chart
This is from the 'Examen pulmonaire' of a patient with advanced heart failure (receiving palliative care as no curative treatment possible at this stage).
It says:
Pas de signe actuellement de surinfection bronchique.
Searching for 'secondary bronchial infection' in Google does not get many hits ('secondary bacterial infection' does though), and 'bronchial superinfection' brings up lots of translated texts... I am not sure of the natural English way to say this...
Thanks in advance!

Superinfection
www.cnrtl.fr/definition/surinfection
A. − Infection, par un germe nouveau, survenant chez un sujet déjà atteint d'une maladie infectieuse spécifique
"In virology, superinfection is the process by which a cell that has previously been infected by one virus gets coinfected with a different strain of the virus, or another virus, at a later point in time.[1] Viral superinfections of serious conditions can lead to resistant strains of the virus, which may prompt a change of treatment. For example, an individual superinfected with two separate strains of HIV may contract a strain that is resistant to antiretroviral treatment. The combined infection has also been shown to reduce the overall effectiveness of the immune response.[2]
In medicine, superinfection is an infection following a previous infection, especially when caused by microorganisms that are resistant or have become resistant to the antibiotics used earlier."
