Fatal Systemic Complications after Bacillus Calmette-Guérin Immunotherapy: A Case Report Bacillus Calmette-Guerin İmmünoterapisi Sonrası Gelişen Ölümcül Sistemik Komplikasyonlar: Olgu Sunumu

چکیده
Approximately 70% of bladder transitional epithelium cell carcinomas are non-invasive muscular bladder cancers, and for the treatment and prevention of recurrence of this type of cancer, Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is applied prophylactically. This practice is generally considered reliable and rarely causes systemic complications. We present here a case in which the patient underwent transurethral resection due to bladder carcinoma and subsequently received intravesical BCG immunotherapy. After the fifth application of BCG, hypersensitivity, tuberculosis sepsis, acute kidney injury, DIC, metabolic acidosis and simultaneous pulmonary embolism were observed.

2014 Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is a vaccine derived from attenuated strains of Mycobacterium bovis. Mycobacterium bovis BCG-based therapy is considered an effective alternative for bladder carcinoma in situ when exclusive transurethral resection is inadequate. Among the complications associated with therapy, there are few reports in the literature on reactive arthritis. We report the case ...

Background: Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination is recommended for newborn infants worldwide to prevent tuberculosis. However, complications do occur inevitably in a very low rate, among which the most serious is disseminated disease. The disseminated bacillus Calmette–Guérin disease is a rare disease with high fatality, and can be seen among persons with an underlying immunodeficiency. ...
