Abstract
Disseminated infection after intravesical bacille Calmette-Guérin instillation for bladder cancer is a rare but potential complication. Vascular infection is an additional serious complication but is seldom reported. We present the first report of a small series of patients with vascular infections after intravesical bacille Calmette-Guérin instillation, and we review the related literature.
