  • Title: Granulomatous hepatitis as a late complication of BCG immunotherapy.
    Author: Flippin T, Mukherji B, Dayal Y.
    Journal: Cancer; 1980 Oct 15; 46(8):1759-62. PubMed ID: 7427878.
    Abstract:
    A case of BCG-induced granulomatous hepatitis, which developed 1 1/2 years after BCG immunotherapy for recurrent malignant melanoma, is described to document the development of this disease entity as a potential late complication of BCG immunotherapy. The clinical implications of the late development of BCG-induced granulomatous hepatitis, use of immunosuppressive chemotherapy, and possible alternatives for BCG in intratumor immunotherapy are discussed.
