У Анны Альбертини никаких заразных болезней не было.

...it's unlikely that she was up to any monkey business... I think we can probably give her a clean bill of health. (W. S. Maugham, ‘The Hour before the Dawn’, ch. XVI) — ...мало вероятно, чтобы она занималась какой-либо предосудительной деятельностью... я думаю, что мы можем считать ее вне подозрений.

They don't want to dismiss the case and give your uncle a clean bill of health. They'd like to have him plead guilty to something... (E. S. Gardner, ‘The Case of the Hesitant Hostess’, ch. 2) — Полиция не хочет снять с вашего дяди все обвинения и прекратить дело. Ее устроит, если он в чем-нибудь признает себя виновным.
