Abstract
Osteoarticular infection with () is a rare complication of bladder cancer treatment with intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guèrin (BCG). We describe a case of disseminated BCG infection masquerading as a chronic prosthetic joint infection in a patient with several risk factors for progressive mycobacterial infection.
