“…Interestingly, the first historical mention of this condition was in 1812, as it was found in King George III, whereas the first mention in medical literature was in 1978. 2,3 Among patients with chronic indwelling urinary catheter use, the reported prevalence has varied considerably, from 8.3% to 42.1%. 4,5 In addition to urinary catheterization, PUBS is associated with urinary tract infections (UTI) with high bacterial load, female gender, old age, severe disability, constipation, alkaline urine, increased dietary tryptophan content, renal failure, and the use of plastic urinary catheters and drainage bags.…”

Background: Purple color of urine is alarming and may indicate a serious underlying pathology. Purple discoloration of the urinary catheter bag is uncommon and is caused by urinary tract infection with certain organisms. Case presentation: We present a case of this rare phenomenon in a benign prostate hyperplasia patient with indwelling catheter who also has diabetes mellitus and chronic renal disease. We also discussed proposed etiology and pathophysiology of purple urine bag syndrome. Conclusion: Attempt to make the patient catheter free after stabilizing the patient is also the key point in its management. Although purple urine bag syndrome is not an aggressive pattern, it is an indicator for urosepsis.
