Examples of sequelae in the following topics:

  • Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

    • Following acute poisoning, long-term sequelae often occur.
    • These delayed neurological sequelae may occur in up to 50% of poisoned people after two to 40 days.
    • It is difficult to predict who will develop delayed sequelae but advancing age, loss of consciousness while poisoned, and initial neurological abnormalities may increase the chance of developing delayed symptoms.
  • Arboviral Encephalitis

    • Long-lasting or permanent neuropsychiatric sequelae are observed in 10-20% of infected patients; morality occurs in only 1-2% of the infected, with deaths occurring 5 to 7 days after the onset of neurologic symptoms.
  • Episiotomy

    • Precipitous birth can also damage - and more severely sever - the perineal body, leading to undesired birth sequelae such as incontinence.
  • Iron Overload and Tissue Damage

    • Because of the severe sequelae of this disease if left untreated and recognizing that treatment is relatively simple, early diagnosis before symptoms or signs appear is important.
