Purple urine-bag syndrome is a rare condition that occurs in patients with indwelling urinary catheters carried over a long period and frequently associated with a urinary tract infection. It is characterized by the appearance of a violet coloration of the probe and/or the urine collection bag. We report the first case in West Africa that occurred in a 47-year-old woman in uremic encephalopathy and carrier of a urinary catheter, which presented a violet color of the tubing and urine-bag associated with a urinary tract infection. The outcome was favorable under antibiotic therapy. Many patients benefit from the installation of urinary catheters for various reasons and the occurrence of this syndrome should lead the medical team to systematically seek an underlying urinary tract infection to avoid if possible paraclinical assessments generally costly to our patients without medical coverage in our developing countries.
紫色尿袋综合征是一种罕见病症，发生于长期留置导尿管的患者，且常与尿路感染相关。其特征为导尿管和/或集尿袋出现紫色。我们报告西非首例该病例，患者为一名47岁患尿毒症性脑病且留置导尿管的女性，其导尿管和尿袋呈紫色，并伴有尿路感染。经抗生素治疗后预后良好。许多患者因各种原因受益于导尿管置入，而该综合征的发生应促使医疗团队系统性地排查潜在的尿路感染，以便在可能的情况下避免进行通常对我们发展中国家无医保的患者来说费用高昂的辅助检查。
