To my understanding, an exacerbation is when the CF kicks it up a notch. You feel lousier, you have a harder time doing things, you cough more, you cough <b>up</b> more, the bacteria starts fighting harder/growing more, maybe you lose more weight than usual. Any combination of those would compromise an exacerbation.

Emily's pretty much right on the money with her explanation. Basically an exacerbation is a worsening of symptoms that leads to needing a tune-up. Sometime we call the "exasperations" because they're so frustrating and each one makes it more difficult to make a come-back. One of the first signs of a pulmonary exacerbation is a drop in FEV1.
