[edit] Loquacity

So basically, "sequela" is fancy Latin for "consequence", right? —Nahum Reduta 10:21, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

It appears that here "sequela" is defined as a complication that is chronic. In that sense, a sequela is distinct from a late effect, which can be acute. --Una Smith (talk) 04:34, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Poor Example

...post-traumatic stress disorder may be a psychological sequela of rape.

Need to cite a reference to this or use a better example. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 214.13.167.254 (talk) 08:29, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
