title: [Arthritis after BCG treatment of bladder cancer. A rare complication].
abstract: Since 1976 intravesical instillation of bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) has been used after surgical treatment of bladder cancer. Local side effects like cystitis are common, but a small share of the patients develop influenza-like symptoms, arthritis and other complications. We describe two patients with arthritis.
