Acute in this context means short-term -- it hasn't been going on long.

Exacerbation means signs and symptoms have gotten worse.

"Acute exacerbation" of a disease means the disease has been there right along, but lately it's acting up. For example, in this season in our area (spring), I see many patients with acute exacerbation of Allergies.
