title: Reiter's syndrome after intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin treatment for superficial bladder carcinoma.
abstract: A 64-year-old woman developed acute Reiter's syndrome 4 weeks after the start of intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin immunotherapy for a recurrent superficial bladder carcinoma. The absence of any other cause suggests that the bacillus played an etiopathogenic role in this HLA-B27-positive patient.
