Intravesical bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy is the most effective treatment for high-risk superficial bladder cancer. Severe systemic complications are rare, but may occur in approximately 1% of cases. We report a severe complication of intravesical BCG: a disseminated Mycobacterium bovis infection with biopsy-proven granulomatous hepatitis in a patient with bladder cancer. We also elaborate on the different management alternatives.
膀胱内卡介苗(BCG)治疗是高危浅表性膀胱癌最有效的治疗方法。严重的全身并发症很少见,但约1%的病例可能会发生。我们报告了一例膀胱内卡介苗治疗的严重并发症:一名膀胱癌患者发生播散性牛分枝杆菌感染,经活检证实为肉芽肿性肝炎。我们还详细阐述了不同的处理方法。
