Özet
Respiratory tract infections are common in Down syndrome. A 24-year-old male patient with Down syndrome with concurrent diabetes mellitus underwent antibiotic treatment with a diagnosis of lung abscess in an external center with complaints of fever and vomiting, but was referred to us after his symptoms did not regress. Despite the improvement in the lung abscess noted in a radiological examination, the patient was identified with a brain abscess upon an examination due to the continuation of fever, vomiting and the onset of headache. Particular attention should be paid to additional abscess foci such as brain abscess in cases with lung abscess with an underlying comorbidity.
