This increased autoimmunity sometimes causes localor systemic reactions. In this case report, we would like to present a 61-year-old male patient whodeveloped intolerance while taking the first dose of maintenance BCG, and then on-going treatmentwas stopped. The patient had convulsive painful cramps and muscle twitches in the left quadricepsfemoris region one month later BCG intolerance. When the patient’s anamnesis, electromyography(EMG) results, elevated Creatine Kinase value and other laboratory data were evaluated together, BCGtriggered autoimmune myopathy was considered. Therefore, steroid treatment was started and thepatient recovered seven weeks later. This is a rare case of autoimmune myopathy in a patient whoreceived intravesical BCG therapy for a bladder tumor.Conclusion: The case of BCG-associated autoimmune myopathy is extremely rare. When this situationis suspected, it is beneficial to start steroid treatment without delay.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Amaç: Kasa invaze olmayan mesane kanserinin tedavisinde kullanılan intravezikal Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG)’ye karşı intolerans gelişen hastada gözlenen otoimmün miyopati olgusunu sunuyoruz.Olgu: Kasa invaze olmayan mesane kanserinin tedavisinde kullanılan intravezikal BCG mesanedeotoimmüniteyi artırarak etki etmektedir. Bu artan otoimmünite bazen lokal veya sistemik reaksiyonlaraneden olabilmektedir. Bu olgu sunumunda, 61 yaşında bir erkek hastada idame BCG tedavisinin ilkdozu alındıktan sonra intolerans gelişti ve daha sonra tedavisine devam edilemedi. BCG intoleransıgelişiminden 1 ay sonra hasta sol kuadriseps femoris bölgesinde konvülsif ağrılı kramplar ve kasseğirmeleri şikâyeti ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Hastanın anamnezi, elektromiyografi (EMG) sonuçları,kreatin kinaz yüksekliği ve diğer laboratuvar verileri birlikte değerlendirildiğinde BCG ile tetiklenenotoimmün miyopati geliştiği düşünüldü. Bu nedenle steroid tedavisi başlandı ve hasta yedi hafta sonrasağlığına kavuştu. Bu olgu mesane tümörü için intravezikal BCG tedavisi alan hastada görülen nadir birotoimmün miyopati olgusudur.Sonuç: BCG ile ilişkili otoimmün miyopati olgusu son derece nadirdir. Bu klinikten şüphelenildiğindesteroid tedavisinin zaman geçirilmeden başlanılmasında fayda vardır.</p></trans-abstract>
