Probably not. It would be very confusing to English speakers, having as its
main meaning a collection of symptons that happened by chance (implying
there was no causal relationship between them) rather than a collection of
symptoms that co-occurred together.

Would "coincidence of symptoms" (= "Zusammentreffen von Symptomen" in
German) work in English?
