RINCON MAYANS, A. et al. Polyarthritis secondary to intravesical BCG instillation: a case report. []. , 31, 4, pp.400-403. ISSN 0210-4806.

Immunotherapy with intravesical instillation of Bacillus Calmette is the best complementary after TUR treatment against T1 grade 2- 3 and CIS bladder cancer. However, this therapy is associated with several side- effects, incluiding joint symptoms. In this article we describe a case of polyarthritis associated with intravesical instillation, a rare complication. We review the clinical features, the pathogenic mechanisms and treatments described previously in the medical literature. Finally, we expose our brief experience and our final result.
