逆转 (nì zhuǎn) — to reverse (a negative trend, often with a positive outcome); to take a turn for the worse, to deteriorate
Definition
逆转 covers two opposing senses: 'to reverse (a negative trend into a positive one)' and 'to take a turn for the worse.' Context and tone disambiguate — a positive outcome signals the first; words like 病情恶化 or 形势 point to the second.
