Area of Science:

Urology
Medical Case Reports

Background:

Purple urine bag syndrome (PUBS) is a rare, benign condition characterized by purple discoloration of urinary collection bags and tubing.
It is typically observed in elderly, bedridden women with chronic urinary catheterization and concurrent urinary tract infections.
PUBS is commonly associated with alkaline urine.

Purpose of the Study:

To report a rare case of Purple urine bag syndrome (PUBS).
To describe the occurrence of PUBS in the context of acidic urine, which deviates from the usual presentation.

Main Methods:

Case report of a patient presenting with purple discoloration of the urine bag and tubing.
Analysis of urine pH and associated clinical factors.

Main Results:

The patient exhibited the characteristic purple discoloration of the urine collection system.
Urine analysis revealed acidic pH, contrary to the typical alkaline urine association with PUBS.

Conclusions:

Purple urine bag syndrome can occur even in the presence of acidic urine.
This case expands the understanding of PUBS, highlighting its occurrence beyond the commonly reported alkaline urine environment.
