Mycotic infrarenal aortic aneurysm due to mycobacterium after intravesical treatment for bladder cancer
Intravesical instillation of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin, a live-attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis, is a common adjuvant therapy for bladder cancer with a low incidence of serious adverse events. The case described herein illustrates a rare complication of intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin i...
