BCG can enter into the body via the vessels of the bladder and the prostate. This could lead to a systemic infection by this germ.
Some conditions could increase the risk of dissemination of BCG:
• If BCG is given during the first 2 weeks after resection.
• If blood is visualized in the urine before BCG in given.
• If the catheterisation of the bladder was traumatic.
• If there is a symptomatic urinary tract infection.
In these cases, appropriate treatment must be given or BCG treatment must be delayed.
