Although intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) administration is an effective method in the treatment of superficial urinary bladder carcinoma, some complications may arise such as a granulomatous reaction either in the urinary tract or, in rare cases, outside the urinary tract. We report in this paper a case of granulomatous hepatitis following intravesical BCG administration.

D000276 Adjuvants, Immunologic Substances that augment, stimulate, activate, potentiate, or modulate the immune response at either the cellular or humoral level. The classical agents (Freund's adjuvant, BCG, Corynebacterium parvum, et al.) contain bacterial antigens. Some are endogenous (e.g., histamine, interferon, transfer factor, tuftsin, interleukin-1). Their mode of action is either non-specific, resulting in increased immune responsiveness to a wide variety of antigens, or antigen-specific, i.e., affecting a restricted type of immune response to a narrow group of antigens. The therapeutic efficacy of many biological response modifiers is related to their antigen-specific immunoadjuvanticity.
