title: A man with purple urine. Hydroxocobalamin-induced chromaturia.
abstract: In a clinical study, healthy subjects were given an antidote to a toxin that may be encountered by emergency physicians. Urine was collected for seven days following administration of the antidote. The drastic dark purple color of the urine on day 1, taken immediately after the antidote was given, is clearly of note.
