Objective: 1. To estimate the proportion of pediatric skin diseases. 2. To estimate and test the impact of age and sex on pediatric skin diseases 3. To prioritize the condition of skin diseases among pediatric age group. Inclusion criteria: All cases registered in outpatient records aged 0-18 years. Exclusion criteria: None. Materials and Methods: Study design: Retrospective study. Retrospective collection of data from the out patient records, of all children aged 0-18 years, who had attended as out-patient, in dermatology out-patient department, in Krishna Rajendra Hospital, Mysore, Karnataka. The diseases will be tabulated based on age, sex and etiology and results will be analysed. Sample size: With the incidence of pediatric dermatoses 9-37%, level of significance 5%, absolute allowable error 5%, using confidence interval approach, the sample size is 131-373. However, over a period of six months, 3753 pediatric case sheets have been considered for the study. Statistical method: Objective 1 is analysed through frequency and proportion, objective 2 is analysed through bivariate frequency technique using frequency, chi-square test and object 3 is addressed through frequency technique. Results: Out of 16500 out patients 3753 were children aged 0-18 years. Males (1984) were slightly more than females (1769) with male to female ratio of 1.12:1. -

COVID-19 mRNA Pfizer- BioNTech Vaccine Analysis Print All UK spontaneous reports received between 9/12/20 and 22/09/21 for mRNA Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine. A report of a suspected ADR to the Yellow Card scheme does not necessarily mean that it was caused by the vaccine, only that the reporter has a suspicion it may have. Underlying or previously undiagnosed illness unrelated to vaccination can also be factors in such reports. The relative number and nature of reports should therefore not be used to compare the safety of the different vaccines.
