Mycobacterium bovis infection of an aortobifemoral bypass graft with Streptococcus intermedius superinfection after intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin immunotherapy for bladder cancer.

Among 35 cases of mycotic aneurysm reported after BCG therapy in the last 10 years, only one involved a vascular prosthesis. Surgical repair of such aneurysms using prosthetic grafts is commonly performed, associated with anti-mycobacterial treatment. Prognosis is poor with mortality of 14% (4/35) and a 26% rate of aneurysm recurrence under treatment (9/35).
