Purple urine bag syndrome
Journal Title: International Journal of Allied Medical Sciences and Clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Purple bag syndrome (PUBS) is a rare condition in which urine color appears purple in the urobag. Purple coloured urine occurs due to the accumulation of indigo and indirubin, which are the end products of tryptophan metabolism due to the action of sulfatases and phosphatases formed by bacteria like Providencia, Citrobacter, Enterobacter, Klebsiella etc. We present this interesting phenomenon of purple urine in a female who was on prolonged urinary catheterization. The urine culture was positive for Klebsiella oxytoca.
