Encyclopedia : S : SE : SEQ : Sequela
A sequela (plural sequelae) is a pathological condition resulting from a disease, injury, or other trauma. Chronic kidney disease, for instance, is sometimes a sequela of a food-borne illness; post-traumatic stress disorder may be a psychological sequela of rape.
A sequela is also, in cinematic or literary terms, any installment in a series that follows the first.
