Depending on what source you are looking at respiratory problems may occur in people with Down syndrome. For what its worth last night I admitted a 27 year old to the hospital with Downs and Asthma, so I have seen it in a Downs patient very recently, however one patient does not make something common. I am looking for this info myself.
According to a study by Hilton in New South Wales, only 5% of children with DS being hospitalized for respiratory problems actually had asthma, compared to 25% for other children. These results resonate with other studies as well, such as one by Forni GL, , Acutis MS, Strigini P. titled "Incidence of bronchial asthma in down syndrome". Asthma, which is the most common cause of childhood hospitalization, is very uncommon in those with DS comparatively.
