A Case of Purple Urine Bag Syndrome in a Patient with an Ileal Conduit

Purple urine bag syndrome (pubs) is typically a benign condition in which the urine in a foley bag becomes purple. this situation is thought to arise from a series of steps involving the conversion of tryptophan to pigmented indigo and indirubin. while there are multiple factors associated with pubs, no definitive causa- tive agent has been identified. presented here is the case of a patient with an ileal conduit who developed purple urine during his hospitalization.
