ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
BCG therapy is an effective treatment for superficial bladder carcinoma. Exceptionally, systemic disorders including hypersensitivity reactions or infections may occur. CASE REPORT A 70-year-old man developed septicemia with bone marrow granulomatosis with a favorable course after intravesicle administration of bacillus Calmette-Guérin for bladder carcinoma.DISCUSSION:
High grade fever, septicemia, hepatitis or pulmonary granulomatosis as well as bone marrow involvement are reported in less than 1% of all cases of BCG therapy. The pathogenic mechanisms are complex. Anti-tuberculous drugs are generally given.
