Abstract
We present three patients who developed BCGosis, a rare complication following intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) treatment for bladder cancer. These cases highlight the diverse clinical manifestations, diagnostic challenges, and management strategies of this entity, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and initiation of antimycobacterial treatment.
