Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an advanced treatment in Parkinson's disease. We describe a 71-year-old patient in whom the DBS got infected with Mycobacterium bovis shortly after intravesical BCG instillations as an adjuvant treatment of bladder cancer. The DBS internal pulse generator and extension wires had to be replaced, and the patient was treated successfully with rifampicin, isoniazid, and ethambutol during three months. This case suggests that physicians need to be aware of the risk of this kind of infection and add a specific Mycobacterial test to the regular cultures.

Abstract
A 91-year-old man with a history of intravesicular BCG therapy for recurrent bladder cancer and bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) presented with left hip pain. He was noted to have a fluid collection over the left lateral hip and hip X-ray showed loosening of the prosthetic hip stem indicative of a prosthetic joint infection (PJI). He subsequently underwent removal of the THA and insertion of an antibiotic spacer. He was discharged on intravenous ceftriaxone for presumed culture negative PJI. Intraoperative acid fast bacillus culture later grew Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, which was then differentiated to M. bovis The M. bovis infection was thought to be a complication of the patient's prior BCG therapy. He was initially started on isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol pending cultures and sensitivities; pyrazinamide was discontinued after M. bovis was isolated on culture and susceptibility data confirmed the expected inherent resistance of M. bovis to pyrazinamide. The patient underwent successful THA revision and remains symptom-free at 1 year.

Mycobacterium bovis infection of total hip arthroplasty after intravesicular Bacillus Calmette-Guérin. Arthroplast Today 2019; 5:416-420.

Abstract
Intravesicular application of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), a live attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis, is effective in the treatment of bladder cancer. However, systemic dissemination and subsequent infection of implants have been reported. We present a case of M. bovis infection of a total hip arthroplasty 5 years after BCG instillation for bladder cancer. He was treated with debridement, antibiotics, irrigation, and prosthesis retention with appropriate antituberculous therapy. At 4 years after surgery and 3 years after cessation of treatment, he has had no recurrence of infection with a good functional outcome. This case highlights the need to consider Mycobacteria infection in patients who have received intravesicular BCG. Debridement and retention of well-fixed implants can be successful in combination with appropriate antituberculous therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prosthetic joint infections remain a significant cause of morbidity and are frustrating for patients and physicians alike. Unusual causes of infection may be seen in selected circumstances and a high index of suspicion and a careful history are required to ensure an accurate and timely diagnosis can be made. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of Mycobacterium bovis prosthetic joint infection secondary to intravesicular Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) treatment for prior bladder cancer definitively identified by spoligotyping. A favorable clinical outcome was observed following surgical intervention and a 12-month course of anti-mycobacterial therapy. CONCLUSIONS BCG therapy, a live attenuated strain of M. bovis, has become the mainstay of adjunctive therapy for bladder cancer and infectious complications, including those affecting the musculoskeletal system, may be seen years after initial therapy. An awareness of this complication and appropriate discussions with the institution's microbiology laboratory may allow for an accurate and timely identification.
