Purple Urine Bag Syndrome: A Case Report of An Elderly Nigerian Woman

Purple urine bag syndrome (PUBS) is an unusual presentation of urinary tract infection (UTI). Few cases have been reported in Africa. We present a case report of Purple Urine Bag Syndrome from the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The patient was a bedridden catheterized 71 -year-old quadriplegic female patient with a history of hypertension, and ischemic stroke. She was treated with a course of appropriate antibiotics and by changing her urinary catheter and bag. The patient's caregiver refused further care and signed against medical advice after forty-eight hours of admission without doing the requested investigations. Purple urine bag syndrome (PUBS) is a rare benign condition with a good prognosis.
