Abstract
Disseminated infection after intravesical bacille Calmette-Guerin instillat ion for bladder cancer is a rare but potential complication. Vascular infec tion is an additional serious complication but is seldom reported. We prese nt the first report of a small series of patients with vascular infections after intravesical bacille Calmette-Guerin instillation, and we review the related literature.
