Sepsis and multisystem organ failure in a woman attempting interval delivery in a triplet pregnancy: a case report.

Background: Interval delivery of the fetuses in multiple gestations has been shown to increase perinatal survival.
Case: A woman attempting interval delivery of triplets at 21 weeks developed chorioamnionitis, acute respiratory distress syndrome and tubular necrosis 7 days after delivery of the first fetus.
Conclusion: When counseling women about the typically favorable outcomes of delayed interval deliveries, physicians should also warn of the potential risk of complications.
