Reactive arthritis following Bacillus Calmette-Guérin immunotherapy

چکیده
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 of a 56-yearold woman who develops predominantly peripheral spondyloarthritis, following instillation of BCG, as preventive treatment of relapse onset high-grade urothelial carcinoma after surgical resection.

©2014 Turkish League Against Rheumatism. All rights reserved. Reactive arthritis is a seronegative, HLA-B27-linked spondyloarthropathy which occurs as a result of a pathogen, often of gastrointestinal or genitourinary origin, and triggers a cell-mediated immune response. In this article, we present a 64-yearold male case who developed reactive arthritis with fever and asymmetric oligoarthritis ...

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 transur...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the pathogenic mechanism of reactive arthritis after instillation of Calmette-Guérin bacillus (BCG). Although the clinical features of reactive arthritis after BCG therapy are well described, only a few reports have studied the possible pathogenic mechanisms. METHODS We analysed by flow cytometry the phenotype and T-cell receptor (TCR) expression of peripheral blood (...
