| Popis: | A live, attenuated form of Mycobacterium bovis, bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG), is commonly used as intravesical immunotherapy for non-invasive urothelial bladder carcinoma. While complications are rare, dissemination can occur. A case of mycotic aortic aneurysm following BCG administration with recovery of Mycobacterium bovis in culture is reported. A review of the published experience with this problem is also presented. |
