Sequelae

A pathological condition resulting from a prior disease, injury, or attack.


Symptoms of a disorder that remain as the aftereffect of the disorder, e.g., paralysis following poliomyelitis.


The term applied to symptoms or effects which are liable to follow certain diseases. For example, bronchitis and other chest complaints may be sequelae of measles; heart disease is often a sequel of rheumatic fever. Loss of a limb may follow meningococcal disease.
