BCG is a well-established treatment for superficial bladder cancer. Although usually well-tolerated, side effects can range from mild cystitis to life-threatening sepsis. Epididymitis is a rare complication of BCG, with only a handful of cases proven to be caused directly by Mycobacterium bovis. We describe one such case, along with radiological findings for this rare complication.
卡介苗(BCG)是一种治疗浅表性膀胱癌的成熟疗法。尽管通常耐受性良好,但副作用范围可从轻度膀胱炎到危及生命的败血症。附睾炎是卡介苗的一种罕见并发症,仅有少数病例被证实是由牛分枝杆菌直接引起的。我们描述了这样一例病例,以及这种罕见并发症的影像学表现。
