Purple Urine Bag Síndrome:Pathophysiology Involved
Main Article Content
Abstract
Purple urine bag syndrome is a rare but dangerous entity that indicates an important colonization of the urinary tract by multiple multiresistant bacteria in most cases. The low incidence means that this entity is not only underdiagnosed but also treated erroneously. The culture, as well as a general urine test, are key to its correct diagnosis and treatment.
