ABSTRACT
Purple urine bag syndrome (PUBS) was first reported in 1978, and is a rare phenomenon in which purple staining of the bags occurs, with a violet discoloration of the plastic of the catheter bag due to fine blue crystals of indigo in the urine. PUBS occurs predominantly in chronically catheterized constipated women, and is associated with urinary tract infections due to bacteria that produce sulphatase/phosphatase. A 70-year old male patient, who as used a suprapubic cystocatheter for almost 12 months, due to acute urinary retention, visited to our department with a purple colored urine bag. PUBS has previously been reported to be observed mostly in female patients. Herein, we report a rare case of PUBS in male patient.
