Abstract
Intravesical administration of Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) may cause local and systemic infectious complications. Systemic complications are rare but very serious. We report the case of a man with such treatment who began with fever what was initially attributed to a urological sepsis. After, hematogenous dissemination and pneumonitis were suspected, these being diagnosed by gallium-67 scintigraphy. In addition, Mycobacterium bovis was isolated in the urine.
