چکیده
Intravesical instillation of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is used as an adjuvant treatment bladder cancer. Systemic BCG infection occurs in less than 1% cases, and pulmonary involvement even rarer (0.3% – 0.7%), with a favourable prognosis. A 78-year-old male developed miliary tuberculosis (TB) secondary to intravesical subsequent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) superinfection that led patient death. High awareness amongst clinicians needed proceed immediate appropriate therapy these patients, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of bladder tumor (BT) location on prostate cancer (PCa) detection in patients with elevated PSA levels after intravesical BCG instillation. METHODS Between February 2004 and January 2013 prostate biopsies were performed in 59 non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients whose PSA level were elevated (≥3 ng/ml) after a 6 week c...

متن کامل[Tuberculosis miliar in a patient treated with intravesical instillations of bacillus Calmette-Guérin].
Tuberculosis miliar is a very rare complication of bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy that is associated to high mortality. Thus, early diagnosis and treatment is essential. At present, there is a polymerase chain reaction technique (PCR) which is a rapid diagnostic method with elevated sensitivity. Treatment with tuberculostatic agents should be initiated as soon as possible, the com...
