    AbstractAn 80-year-old man came to the ED with fever, hematuria, and overall discomfort for 1 week. His medical history included a superficial urothelial carcinoma of the bladder for which he was adjunctively treated with intravesical Mycobacterium bovis BCG (bacillus Calmette-Guérin) immunotherapy for several months. The patient was admitted to the hospital and was initially treated with cephalosporins for a suspected complicated urinary tract infection, but his symptoms did not improve. Ten days after the initial admission, the patient developed hypoxemic respiratory failure during an episode of fever and cold chills and was admitted to the ICU.Copyright © 2023 American College of Chest Physicians.
