Serum Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) was found to rise to exceedingly high levels in a case of triplet pregnancy after two fetuses died in the 21st week of gestation. The surviving infant was born in the 36th week accompanied by the two fetus papyracei. By the time the process of mummification of the two dead fetuses appeared to be complete on ultrasound, the maternal AFP level had returned to the normal range for singleton pregnancies. HCG, hPL, and estriol and the coagulation profile remained within the normal range throughout the pregnancy.
在一例三胎妊娠中，发现血清甲胎蛋白（AFP）在妊娠21周时两个胎儿死亡后升至极高水平。存活婴儿于第36周出生，伴有两个纸样胎儿。当超声显示两个死胎的木乃伊化过程似乎完成时，母亲的AFP水平已恢复到单胎妊娠的正常范围。整个孕期，人绒毛膜促性腺激素（HCG）、人胎盘催乳素（hPL）、雌三醇及凝血指标均保持在正常范围内。
