Purple Urine Bag Syndrome: A rare manifestation of Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection
Abstract
Kyaw SoeTun and Low Shoulin
Purple Urine Bag Syndrome (PUBS) is an infrequent manifestation associated with urinary tract infection in patients with long term catheterisation where the catheter bag and tubing turn a striking purple colour. It is a benign phenomenon but alarming for the patients, families and healthcare providers. We present a case report of this rare phenomenon occurring in an asymptomatic 83 year old lady, who was brought in for consultation at the Geriatric clinic.
