Description
<p>Case 1: A 73-year-old man presented with a 7-day history of fever. He underwent transurethral resection of the bladder tumor 8 months previously, followed by 2 rounds of BCG immunotherapy. Laboratory analysis revealed elevated ALT, AST, GGT, and ALP. Liver biopsy revealed multiple epithelioid granulomas in the parenchyma with edema and lymphocytic infiltration in the portal tract, confirming granulomatous hepatitis due to disseminated BCG infection. After 9 weeks' treatment with oral anti-mycobacterial therapy, liver function tests returned to normal ranges and the patient recovered uneventfully.</p><p>Case 2: A 66-year-old man presented with a 3-day history of fever. He had received 4 rounds of BCG immunotherapy for renal pelvic carcinoma. Laboratory data showed increased levels of C-reactive protein, ALT, AST, GGT, and ALP. Liver biopsy revealed multiple epithelioid granulomas in both intralobular and periportal areas, confirming granulomatous hepatitis. After 3 weeks' treatment with anti-mycobacterial therapy, liver function tests results returned to within the normal ranges, and he was discharged on day 37 of hospitalization.</p><p>Conclusion: In cases with a high clinical suspicion of disseminated BCG infection, a liver biopsy should be considered to achieve an early and accurate diagnosis.</p>
