Résumé
Intravesical instillations of bacillus Calmette-Guerin are frequently used for treating superficial bladder carcinoma which is considered a safe treatment. We describe an unusual complication with hemophagocytosis and granulomatous hepatitis. Prompt diagnosis and treatment with corticosteroids, anti-tuberculous agents and intravenous immunoglobulins led to a rapid recovery.
