Red Urine: The Monday Morning Disorder of Children

S. LEVIN

It is passing strange that probably the commonest urinary disorder in children gets scant mention in some of the largest standard textbooks on pediatrics or urology. Over the past 20 years the Index Medicus does not list the phenomenon of red urine as a consequence of the ingestion of colored food.

A frequent telephone complaint on a Monday morning concerns the distressing observatio that a 2-or 3-year-old child is passing red urine. Commonly there has been a children's party on the preceding Saturday afternoon or Sunday and in addition to red sweets there have been available red cool drinks and jellies,pink wafer biscuits, red icing sugar, and cakes.
