  • Title: Miliary pulmonary infection after BCG intravesical instillation: a rare, misdiagnosed and mistreated complication.

    Journal: Infez Med; 2017 Dec 01; 25(4):366-370. PubMed ID: 29286018.
    Abstract:
    Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy decreases the progression risk of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, but potentially yields a broad spectrum of side effects. We report the case of a 73-year-old man affected by miliary pulmonary BCG infection, whose microbiological diagnosis was probably hindered by empiric fluoroquinolones, focusing on imaging and clinical work-up.
