    Abstract:
    Local immunotherapy with bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is an effective and frequently used treatment for superficial bladder cancer. Serious side effects are infrequent but can affect every organ system. We describe a 53 year- old man with a disseminated bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) infection after intravescical instillation for bladder carcinoma. Recent literature is reviewed for this rare complication.
