Abstract
A case of polyarthritis following intravesical administration of bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) for bladder carcinoma is reported in a patient with long-standing ankylosing spondylitis. Possible links between BCG-therapy and joint manifestations are discussed in the light of data from the literature. Patients who develop joint manifestations after BCG-therapy are often HLA B27-positive.
