Possible Causes for Exacerbation

Opioid Dependence

Repeated observations of neurons during 48 h exposure to combinations of Tat, equimolar concentrations (500 nM) of morphine, methadone, or buprenorphine exacerbated neurotoxicity [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

For example, opioid withdrawal symptoms may mimic the hypervigilance and exacerbated startle response of patients with PTSD. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Exacerbating that gap was a geographic mismatch. [latimes.com]

Acute Bronchitis

This term is abbreviated as AECB--SS, which would read more like: "Symptom scale for Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Bronchitis." [proz.com]
