This article is about the literary epilogue. See Epilogue (disambiguation) for other uses of "Epilogue" or "Epilog".

An epilogue or epilog is a piece of writing at the end of a work of literature or drama, usually used to bring closure to the work. It is presented from the perspective of within the story; when the author steps in and speaks directly to the reader, that is more properly considered an afterword. The opposite is a Prologue - a piece of writing at the beginning of a work of literature or drama, usually used to open the story and capture interest.

In literature

An epilogue is a final chapter at the end of a story that often serves to reveal the fates of the characters. Some epilogues may feature scenes only tangentially related to the subject of the story. They can be used to hint at a sequel or wrap up all the loose ends. They can occur at a significant period of time after the main plot has ended. In some cases, the epilogue has been used to allow the main character a chance to "speak freely."

An epilogue can continue in the same narrative style and perspective as the preceding story, although the form of an epilogue can occasionally be drastically different from the overall story. It can also be used as a sequel.

In film

In films, the final scenes may feature a montage of images or clips with a short explanation of what happens to the characters. A few examples of such films are 9 to 5, American Graffiti, National Lampoon's Animal House, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Remember the Titans, and Changeling.

The whole of the film The Godfather Part III is an epilogue.

There are many films which do not only include a few glimpses of the character's future, but also are based on an epilogue. Most epilogues in films are shown in a dramatic fashion, usually in silence, to commemorate an important happening, for example, the fate of a character in the film.

In many documentaries and biopics, the epilogue is text-based, explaining what happened to the subjects after the events covered in the film.

Box 616, 6200 MD Maastricht, the Netherlands. Electronic address: j.vandalen@maastrichtuniversity.nl.AbstractThe first time a paediatrician meets with a patient, either with or without parents or caretakers, there are generally two aims with this consultation. Aside from exchanging relevant information for diagnosis, a relationship develops. This relationship is an important factor in the encounter: it can facilitate or impede collaboration between the partners in the consultation. The paediatrician can influence this relationship so that it becomes beneficial in the diagnostic process and in creating a collaborative atmosphere in the consultation, which in turn will prove useful for adherence. This paper addresses this second aim: how can we use the relationship between the patients (with or without parents) and their doctors to enhance the quality and effectiveness of the encounter. Below we will first address why investing in a relationship is beneficial. Next we will describe how this can be done. The review will continue with a discussion of three important pitfalls and how to avoid them, and a small epilogue will provide a brief summary.

• Leung CC, Lange C, Zhang Y.Author information Tuberculosis & Chest Service, Department of Health, Centre for Health Protection, Hong Kong, China.AbstractMycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), has developed various mechanisms to survive and cause disease in the human host. Incomplete understanding of the complex microbe-host interactions has hindered the identification of suitable biomarkers to expedite the development of diagnostic tools, drugs and vaccines. The field effectiveness of directly observed therapy-short course has been compromised by the intrinsic limitations of sputum microscopy and suboptimal adherence to the long duration of treatment amid the HIV-TB syndemic and various socioeconomic constraints. While molecular tools are transforming the diagnostic processes, especially for multi-drug-resistant (MDR)-TB, drug development and service provision for MDR-TB seriously lag behind. Inappropriate management of detected MDR-TB cases may amplify drug resistance, jeopardizing future control. Targeted screening and treatment of latent infection with M. tuberculosis with the currently available immunodiagnostic tools and treatment regimens aim more for personal protection than major epidemiological impact or elimination. The interferon-γ release assays (IGRA) are not affected by cross-reaction to the bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine and are increasingly used for such screening before initiation of biologics for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune disorders. BCG offers only partial and unreliable protection against pulmonary TB in adults, the crucial transmission link for this airborne infection. Systems biology and vaccinomics may speed up vaccine research. The successful development of a fully effective TB vaccine that targets both growing bacteria and non-growing persisters may reflect a major breakthrough, as natural infection does not induce sufficient immunity to prevent reinfection.
