| post-captain | A captain of a war vessel whose name appeared, or was "posted," in the seniority list of the British navy, as distinguished from a commander whose name was not so posted. The term was also used in the United States navy; but no such commission as post-captain was ever recognised in either service, and the term has fallen into disuse.

| post-ictal state | A period of confusion, lethargy and deep breathing that may last for 15 minutes to several hours after the cessation of a generalised seizure. (27 Sep 1997) |

| post-kala azar dermal leishmanoid | A chronic, progressive, granulomatous, nonulcerating hypopigmented nodular cutaneous outbreak that may appear 6 months to 5 years after spontaneous or drug cure of visceral leishmaniasis (kala azar); this condition was first described in India and is most characteristic of kala azar in that country. Synonym: dermal leishmanoid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| post-steady state | Any period of time, particularly in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, after the steady-state interval; e.g., when the rate of product formation is declining in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. (05 Mar 2000) |

| post-term infant | A baby born 2 weeks (14 days) or more after the usual 9 months (280 days) of gestation, as calculated from the last menstrual period (lmp).
