Fall into ill health again (7)

I believe the answer is:

relapse

(Other definitions for relapse that I've seen before include "Take a turn for the worse" , "Deteriorate after getting better" , "unfortunate medical state" , "Fail to maintain progress" , "Fall ill again after rallying" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
