Secondary Brain Abscess in a Patient Followed Up with Lung Abscess

Öz:

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.

Akciğer Apsesi ile Takip Edilen Hastada İkincil Beyin Apsesi

Öz:

Down sendromunda solunum yolu enfeksiyonları sık olarak görülmektedir. Diabetes mellitusu da olan Down sendromlu 24 yaşındaki erkek hasta, ateş ve kusma şikayetleri ile gittiği dış merkezde akciğer apsesi tanısıyla antibiyotik tedavisi almış, ancak semptomlarının gerilememesi üzerine tarafımıza sevk edilmiştir. Radyolojik incelemede akciğer apsesinde düzelme olmasına rağmen ateş, kusmanın devam etmesi ve baş ağrısının da başlaması üzerine yapılan incelemelerde hastanın beyin apsesinin de olduğu saptandı. Özellikle altta yatan ek hastalığı olan akciğer apseli olgularda beyin apsesi gibi ek apse odakları açısından dikkatli olunmalıdır.
