A 64-year-old woman developed acute Reiter's syndrome 4 weeks after the start of intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin immunotherapy for a recurrent superficial bladder carcinoma. The absence of any other cause suggests that the bacillus played an etiopathogenic role in this HLA-B27-positive patient.

KEY WORDS: Arthritis, HLA-B27, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine, Bladder cancer
