Purple urine bag syndrome (PUBS) is an unusual manifestation of urinary tract infection, characterized by purple discoloration of urine. Due to its rarity, it can be challenging for some physicians to manage it properly. In addition, its striking appearance can cause concern to some patients. This condition usually occurs in the debilitated geriatric population with prolonged use of an indwelling urinary catheter. However, our case highlights the development of PUBS in a young adult with a relatively short period of urinary catheterization.
紫色尿袋综合征（PUBS）是尿路感染的一种罕见表现，其特征为尿液呈紫色。由于其罕见性，一些医生可能难以妥善处理。此外，其显著的外观可能会使一些患者感到担忧。这种情况通常发生在长期使用留置导尿管的体弱老年人群中。然而，我们的病例显示，在一名导尿时间相对较短的年轻成年人中也出现了紫色尿袋综合征。
