Rev Med Liege 2021, 76(10),724-728Abstract : Urine staining is described as a clinical sign due to the presence of some diseases. The purple colour is rare and can be worrisome. It has only been described in a syndrome called Purple Urine Bag Syndrome (PUBS). This coloration is the result of a urinary tract infection in patients with an indwelling catheter for a long time. An overview of the mechanisms causing this syndrome and of its management and prognosis will be discussed in this short communication.
