Case Report: Purple urine bag Syndrome

Jyoti Goyal, Abhishek Bansal, Nitin Kumar and Sakshi Vohra

Abstract: 

Purple urine bag syndrome (PUBS) is a rare and strikingly prominent phenomenon associated with recurrent urinary tract infection caused by bacteria with indoxyl phosphatase and sulfatase activity. Recognising this entity is important to avoid undue investigations, misdiagnosis and erroneous treatment. We report an interesting case of PUBS in a 76-year-old female patient who developed PUBS secondary to UTI caused by ESBL Proteus mirabilis. Also, to the best of our information this is the first case of PUBS reported from this region.
