syndrome

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'medical condition' is the definition.
'syndrome' can be an answer for 'condition' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'medical' bit.

'affecting my drones' is the wordplay.
'affecting' indicates an anagram.
'my'+'drones'='mydrones'
'mydrones' is an anagram of 'SYNDROME'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for syndrome that I've seen before include "Characteristic group of symptoms" , "Signs of disorder" , "Combination of symptoms" , "Characteristic pattern of symptoms" , "Group of symptoms usually occurring together" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
