Intravesical instillation of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin is the elective treatment for transitional cell and in situ bladder carcinoma. Severe complications occur very seldom, but must be known and promptly recognized. We describe the case of a 48-year-old man, treated with chemo-immunotherapy ten years before for a follicular lymphoma, who developed a systemic granulomatous reaction after his twelfth intravescical BCG instillation for bladder cancer.

We present here the case of a 66 year old man with a severe bilateral community acquired pneumonia secondary to dissemination after an intravesical instillation of bacilllus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). Diagnosis was based on positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for mycobacterium tuberculosis complex in bronchoalveolar lavage and on the finding on transbronchial biopsy of non necrotising granulomas histopathologically similar to the granulomas found in bladder biopsies. These findings were confirmed using a validated real time PCR assay demonstrating the presence of the BCG genome in transbronchial and bladder biopsies.

RESUMENTUBERCULOSIS MILIAR SECUNDARIA A INSTILACIÓN ENDOVESICAL DE BCG La instilación endovesical con bacilo de Calmette-Guerin es el tratamiento de elección para el carcinoma superficial e in situ de vejiga. En raras ocasiones presenta complicaciones graves que deben ser tenidas en cuenta. A continuación presentamos un caso de reactivación endógena de tuberculosis miliar secundaria a dicho tratamiento.Palabras clave: Neoplasias vesicales. Vacuna BCG. Tuberculosis. Efectos adversos. ABSTRACT MILIARY TUBERCULOSIS IN A PATIENT TREATED WITH BCG INTRAVESICAL INSTILLATIONIntravesical instillation of bacillus Calmette-Guérin is the elective treatment for trnasitional cell and in situ bladder carcinoma. Severe complications occur very seldom but must be known and promptly recognized. We present a case of miliary tuberculosis reactivation secondary to the mentioned treatment.
