  • Title: Mycobacterium bovis vertebral osteomyelitis and discitis with adjacent mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm caused by intravesical BCG therapy: a case report in an elderly gentleman.
    Author: Samadian S, Phillips FM, Deeab D.
    Journal: Age Ageing; 2013 Jan; 42(1):129-31. PubMed ID: 23151379.
    Abstract:
    The bacille Calmette-Guérin, a live attenuated form of Mycobacterium bovis, has been used as anti-cancer immunotherapy for superficial bladder cancer since 1976 [ 1]. It is now the mainstay of therapy for this condition, which is partly attributable to the low complication rate; indeed 95% have no significant side effects [ 2]. However, proven disseminated M. bovis infection has been documented, as is the case with our elderly patient.
