Abstract

Intravesical instillation of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is used as an adjuvant treatment of bladder cancer. Systemic BCG infection occurs in less than 1% of cases, and pulmonary involvement is even rarer (0.3% - 0.7%), with a favourable prognosis. A 78-year-old male developed miliary tuberculosis (TB) secondary to intravesical BCG treatment and subsequent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) superinfection that led to patient death. High awareness amongst clinicians is needed to proceed with immediate appropriate therapy in these patients, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

卡介苗-谷青胞杆菌膀胱内滴注致军队肺结核合并COVID-19重复感染1例。

膀胱内注射卡介苗是膀胱癌的辅助治疗方法。系统性卡介苗感染的发生率不到1%，累及肺部的病例更为罕见(0.3% - 0.7%)，预后良好。一名78岁男性因膀胱内卡介苗治疗继发于军旅性结核病(TB)，并随后发生2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)重复感染，导致患者死亡。临床医生需要提高认识，以便立即对这些患者进行适当治疗，特别是在COVID-19大流行期间。
