Nonbilharzial bladder carcinoma complicating pregnancy--treatment with bacille Calmette-Guérin.
Bladder carcinoma in situ is often treated with intravesical bacille Calmette-Guérin. Unable to find a report of this therapy in pregnancy, we describe such a case. Intravesical bacille Calmette-Guérin immunotherapy may be safely administered during the second trimester in an appropriately selected patient.
