DE LA GUERRA ACEBAL, Carla; MORENO RODRIGO, Ana; CUNADO EIZAGUIRRE, Amaia y GURRUCHAGA ARRILLAG, Nicolás. Acute oligoarthritis following BCG treatment for urinary bladder cancer: A case report. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2015, vol.22, n.4, pp.231-233. ISSN 0121-8123. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcreu.2015.10.001.
Intravesical instillation of Calmette-Guérin bacillus (BCG) is an effective and safe treatment for superficial bladder cancer. The reactive arthritis is a rare osteoarticular side-effect following intravesical BCG immunotherapy. The case is presented of a 65-year-old male, who developed reactive asymmetric oligoarthritis after the sixth BCG instillation, which was resolved with administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and discontinuation of intravesical instillation.
