ABSTRACT

Chorioamnionitis has generally been thought to be a contraindication to attempting a delayed interval delivery in a multiple gestation. We present a twin gestation in which a delay of 88 days between the birth of the two infants occurred. Chorioamnionitis observed immediately after the delivery of Twin A was successfully treated with antibiotic therapy.
