Abstract:
Tuberculous granulomatous infection of the urinary tract is a rare complication of intravesical Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) immunotherapy, which is commonly used for superficial urothelial cell carcinoma of the bladder. We present a case of tuberculous prostatic abscess in a patient who had undergone intravesical BCG immunotherapy for bladder carcinoma in situ.
