Abstract
Bladder cancer is a common malignancy in women and is the fourth most common malignancy in men. Bladder cancer ranges from nonaggressive and usually noninvasive tumors that recur and require long-term invasive follow-up to aggressive and invasive tumors with high disease-specific mortality. Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) intravesical immunotherapy, a vaccine derived from attenuated Mycobacterium strains - Bovis is one of the most effective bladder cancer therapies currently available. Reactive arthritis has occurred in between 0.5% and 1% of bladder cancer patients treated with intravesical BCG immunotherapy. Here, we present a 66-year-old man diagnosed with urothelial carcinoma undergoing intravesical BCG therapy with high-grade fever and polyarthralgia.
期刊介绍：
Indian Association of Clinical Medicine is an academic body constituted in the year 1992 by a group of clinicians with the main aim of reaffirming the importance of clinical medicine in this era of high-tech diagnostic modalities. There is no doubt that modern investigational methods have contributed a lot to the present day medical practice but that does not render clinical acumen and examination less important. The art and science of clinical medicine helps up to make proper and judicious use of investigations and not these be the sole basis of our practice. That is the basic idea behind this ''Association''. We presently have members and fellows of the association from all over the country. In August, 2002 the body was registered as "Indian Association of Clinical Medicine" by the Registrar of Societies, Delhi.
