Background: Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is the most effective intravesical therapy for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), but patients can fail or supply shortages can develop. For BCG failures, radical cystectomy is recommended. However, in patients who desire bladder preservation or are poor surgical candidates, alternative salvage intravesical therapies should be

Generalized granuloma annulare (GGA) is a rare benign granulomatous dermatosis characterized by disseminated necrobiotic dermal papules. Histologically, it presents as a lymphohistiocytic granuloma associated with varying degrees of connective tissue degeneration. It usually occurs in adults and rarely affects infants. Herein, we report an interesting case of GGA which occurred in a 3 month-old...

TOPIC: Chest Infections TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is a live attenuated strain of the aerobic bacterium Mycobacterium bovis. Although mechanism action by which intravesical BCG elicits anti-tumorigenicity remains elusive, it mainstay adjunct treatment superficial bladder cancer. Non-infectious symptoms including dysuria, hematuria, a...

Bladder cancer is the second most common cancer of the urinary tract, and overall it is among the top 10 cancers in men. Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) is the most common type, with the majority being superficial disease, i.e. the tumour has not gone beyond the lamina propria. The main problem with superficial TCC is the high recurrence rate. Various forms of treatment methods have been atte...

This is the first identified case of Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG)-derived cutaneous tuberculosis that localizes at a place different from the vaccination site in hosts without immune deficiency. A healthy baby with a developing abscess is described. A multiplex PCR identified the abscess as originating from M. bovis BCG Tokyo 172.

Disseminated Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) infection after innoculation of live vaccine is considered to result from impaired immunity. However, in half of the cases, regarded as idiopathic, no well-defined immunodeficiency condition can account for the infection. The objective of this study was to report the prevalence, clinical features, associated infections, and outcome of children with id...
