- We report a case of Mycobacterium bovis BCG vertebral osteomyelitis 1.8 years after intravesical BCG therapy for bladder cancer. We differentiated BCG from other Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex members by PCR analysis of deletion regions and started an appropriate chemotherapy regimen resulting in the remission of symptoms within 1 month.
