si una enfermedad hace crisis if the patient develops an acute event of a/the disease

Explanation:

If the disease worsens abruptly

Explanation:
A crisis is an abrupt event. Does not necessarily mean that the disease is severe. There is even the expression "defervescence by crisis", which means rapid improvement of a fever.
