  • Title: Miliary lung disease after intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin immunotherapy.
    Author: Jasmer RM, McCowin MJ, Webb WR.
    Journal: Radiology; 1996 Oct; 201(1):43-4. PubMed ID: 8816518.
    Abstract:
    Clinical and radiologic findings in a 73-year-old man who developed a systemic illness while receiving intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy for bladder cancer are presented. Thin-section chest computed tomographic findings included a diffuse pattern of small nodules consistent with miliary disease. Potential mechanisms explaining the pulmonary disease resulting from intravesical BCG treatment include a hypersensitivity reaction or actual BCG infection of the lungs.
