Reactive arthritis (ReA) with the classic triad of arthritis, conjunctivitis and urethritis, previously termed Reiter’s syndrome, is a systemic illness, usually induced by genitourinary or gastrointestinal infections. However, it can be a rare complication of intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin instillation (iBCG), a therapy prepared from attenuated strains of Mycobacterium bovis, a common and effective treatment for carcinoma in situ of the bladder (CisB). We report a case of a patient with CisB who developed ReA after iBCG. The symptoms resolved completely with corticosteroids. iBCG was stopped with no recurrence of carcinoma within 2 years.

We report our experience on the treatment of carcinoma in situ (CIS) using intravesical therapy with the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG). From November 1992 to September 1994, 18 patients received treatment: 6 had associated CIS and 12 secondary CIS. Ploidy of each tumour was determined by flow cytometry. Aneuploidy was found in 12 cases, diploidy in 6 cases. After treatment, a standard bladder mapping was performed: 14 patients showed no evidence of cystoscopic and histological disease and if previously aneuploid, became diploid. 4 patients has recurrent disease after therapy; they were all aneuploid before treatment. One of these showed a persistent aneuploidy, although both voided urinary cytology and histological samples were negative. Six months later, a recurrent CIS was seen at the time of cystoscopy. These results enhance the interest in flow cytometry as a possible predictor of response to BCG in the treatment of CIS.
