ABSTRACT
Purple urine bag syndrome (PUBS) is a rare phenomenon where the urinary catheter and bag turns purple following catheterization. The colors are formed from the substrate indoxyl sulfate (indican). PUBS is associated with urinary tract infections induced by the reaction of some species of bacteria with indoxyl sulfatase. We report here in a case of purple urine bag syndrome.
