In this paper we consider the pair diffusion process in more than two spatial dimensions. In this case we are able to prove just a local existence result, since it is not possible to deduce global a priori estimates for the equations as it can be done in the two-dimensional case. The model includes a nonlinear system of reaction-drift-diffusion equations, a nonlinear ordinary differential equation in Banach spaces and an elliptic equation for the electrostatic potential. The local existence result is based on the fixed point theorem of Schauder.
