[Miliary tuberculosis in a patient treated with BCG intravesical instillation].
Intravesical instillation of bacillus Calmette-Guérin is the elective treatment for transitional cell and in situ bladder carcinoma. Severe complications occur very seldom but must be known and promptly recognized. We present a case of miliary tuberculosis reactivation secondary to the mentioned treatment.
