International poster parade: sight bites from the 18th World Congress of Dermatology New York City June 12 to 18, 1992.

Most of what we learn comes from reading, not from listening. Thus, for us, the poster presentation is ideal. It allows us to escape from the confinement of the lecture hall and from the constraint of having to listen to the obvious, the repetitious, the uninteresting, and the irrelevant. Come with us and scan those posters that caught our roving clinical eye as we viewed a thousand poster "lectures."

Intralesional bleomycin sulfate therapy for warts. A novel bifurcated needle puncture technique.

A multiple puncture technique using a bifurcated vaccination needle to introduce bleomycin sulfate (1 U/mL sterile saline solution) into warts resulted in elimination of 92% of a random series of 258 warts after a single treatment. Recurrence was not observed during a 6-month follow-up period. Six of the 66 patients required two to seven treatments for wart eradication, and four patients requested alternative therapy after initial failure with a single bleomycin treatment.
