A total of 1232 female subjects including 100 prostitutes from Calcutta and adjoining areas in the age group of 21-70 years were screened for cervical pathology according to the method of Papanicolaou. Of 1232 examined, 815 were found to have smears with normal cellular cytology (66.15%). The others were grouped into dysplasia (18.4%) and inflammatory (15.4%) according to the cytomorphological characteristics of the exfoliated cells. The findings though revealed more cases of cervical dysplasia in women with early marriage, early childbirth, high parity and multiple sexual partners, it failed to support the smegma theory of cervical carcinoma. This study also showed a number of inflammatory cervical smears in women coming from low socio-economic group.

A total of 977 human and animal (including livestock) cases of rabies exposure attributed to the bite of a variety of animals during a period of one year in an area covering 22 thanas has been analysed. Dog-bite, mostly from stray dogs constituted the highest risk of exposure to rabies in humans and animals including livestock. Prophylactic vaccination of pet animals including livestock and elmination of stray dogs will considerably reduce the exposure to rabies.
