The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 2.4 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 2.8 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.5 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00049 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.59 SJR: 0.429 SNIP: 0.507 CiteScore™:: 3.9 H-Index: 49

RÉSUMÉ

We investigated the presence of human papilloma virus (HPV) 16/18 and herpes simplex virus-1,-2 (HSV-1,-2) infections in buccal mucosal cells of prostitutes of Calcutta, India, by in situ DNA hybridization and immunocytochemical technique. In some of them, we also examined the prevalence of viral infections in uterine cervical cells. The women were also tested for venereal disease research laboratory antigen (VDRL) positivity. Oral infections with HSV-1,-2 and HPV 16/18 were detected in 24.6%, 11.6%, and 29%, respectively. Similar cervical infections were found in 0%, 44%, and 62.9% of the cases studied. HPV coinfection was significantly higher (p < 0.01) in both the oral and cervical cells that had HSV infection. The cervical HPV infections were not markedly higher among the VDRL-positive prostitutes (p > 0.05). The HPV or HSV infection rates showed no remarkable variation between the two age groups of the prostitutes studied (p > 0.05). Cytological abnormalities were more pronounced in the cervix of women having concurrent infection with HPV and HSV-2 rather than in the presence of infection with either of the two. This preliminary investigation, the first of its kind in India, requires a larger study to understand the significance of the association of different sexually transmitted agents including HPV (apart from HIV) as risk factors for pathologic lesions.
