Abstract: We present here the natural extension of our Pila-Wilkie type estimates on the number of rational points of the trascendent part of a compact analytic subset of \(\mathbb{F}_{q}((1/T))^{n}\) (see [D1]) to analogous subsets of \(K^{n}\), where \(K\) is a general local field of any characteristic. That would integrate the analogous estimate provided by F. Loeser, G. Comte and R. Cluckers in [CCL, Theorem 4.1.6]. We remind in the first two sections the main ideas of our construction by correcting two minor mistakes we made in [D1]. We then generalize the strategy to any local field.
