Sequelae are long-term or permanent effects that result from a disease or injury. Arthritis resulting from Lyme disease is an example of sequelae as it is a long-term effect resulting from the disease. Headache from meningitis and diarrhea from Salmonella enteritidis infection are acute symptoms that are expected to resolve without long-term effects. Difficulty swallowing from streptococcal infection is a potential acute symptom but is not necessarily a long-term effect.
