Purple Urine

Purple discolouration of urine is not commonly encountered in accident and emergency departments. We report a case of an elderly gentleman on long-term urinary catheter who presented with purple discolouration of urine. He was found to have urinary tract infection caused by the bacteria Proteus mirabilis. The urine became clear after urinary catheter change and antibiotic treatment. This is called the purple urine bag syndrome and emergency physicians should be aware of this uncommon condition and the associated potentially dangerous conditions in order to initiate appropriate management.
