Is there any other term than "after-effect" to translate this widely used concept?

Here is a sample sentence:

由于幼儿会的中英文语汇还很单薄,因此容易出现 "浅薄知识学习" 的后遗症。

2 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "No doubt you're right in the "clinical" sense, but somehow "sequela" sounds like "doctor-speak," while 后遗症 is now widely used in Taiwan and China in a much more colloquial way. Not to worry -- many thanks for the quick advice!"
