Abstract: Intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) administration is used as a treatment method in superficial bladder cancer and is generally well tolerated. Side effects following BCG are usually mild and self-limiting and serious systemic side effects are rarely seen. BCG-related hepatitis is a rare complication after intravesical BCG. We report a case of hepatitis following intravesical BCG administration. All symptoms disappeared after antituberculosis and prednisolone therapy.
