Abstract
Disseminated BCG disease is a rare life-threatening complication of BCG administration, characterised by miliary pulmonary nodules. Presentation can mimic tuberculosis, both in symptoms and on radiological imaging. Here we report a case of disseminated BCG disease following intravesical BCG treatment for superficial bladder cancer that responded to anti-tuberculous treatment and corticosteroids, and briefly review the literature on disseminated BCG disease.
