[Fever of Unknown Origin in a Patient Administered With Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) to Treat Urothelial Vesical Carcinoma in Situ]
Koch’s Bacillus bovis (Mycobacterium bovis) was made avirulent by special culture conditions, i.e., 230 passages on medium containing potatoes treated with bile salts. It has been used mainly to prevent tuberculosis. The vaccine was named after the bacteriologist Albert Calmette and the veterinarian Camille Guérin, i.e., Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). These researchers worked at the Pasteur Institute in Lille and launched the vaccine in 1921.Recently, BCG was used also for its non-specific immunostimulant action. Intravesical administration of BCG is an adjunctive therapy for the treatment of bladder cancer, which does not invade the muscle wall.We will discuss the clinical case of a patient who had fever of unknown origin for about 2 months and was resistant to treatment with multiple lines of antibiotics.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Management Issues is an open access, peer-reviewed journal published by SEEd Medical Publishers (online ISSN = 2283-3137). The aim of the published case reports is to expand medical knowledge, allowing a better explanation of the practical application of a clinical guideline, or including an up-to-date review of medical knowledge in that field, or helping doctors to make better decisions in a “grey area”, or explaining how to manage a disease with an integrated approach between different specialists involved. Clinical Management Issues also publishes unusual case reports (i.e. unusual side effects or adverse interactions involving medications, unexpected or unusual presentations of a disease, etc.), articles on clinical management of a disease, case series, editorials, and brief reports. Acceptance rate of submitted articles is about 90%. Content is subject to peer-review and is editorially independent. This journal provides immediate open access to all of its articles (both HTML and PDF versions). Authors are asked to state any professional and financial situations that might be perceived as causing a conflict of interest with respect to integrity of content.
