Please let me know what you think. An FDA panel voted 6 to 5 against recommending approval of a combination vaccine that would protect against five diseases. Most of the children studied were white. Anthony J. Mancini, MD, presented an overview of children's dermatologic problems, and discussed the differential diagnoses of these common problems. According to Mancini, pyogenic granuloma is an acquired, benign vascular tumor that is fairly common in children and can develop within a port wine stain or other vascular malformation.
Biopsies show the lesions are neither pyogenic or granulomatous, making the name misleading.
The CDC said Lyme disease increased between 1991 and 1999, but actual case numbers are hard to come by. Experts suggest Lyme disease could be underreported where it is endemic and overreported where it is not. In addition, the case definition of Lyme disease could be unclear from region to region. Most cases continue to occur in the Northeast, mid-Atlantic and North Central states. The CDC is collaborating with health departments and organizations to increase prevention efforts.
