摘要：

Piercing of various body parts, including high ear piercing, is increasingly more common among adolescents. This fashionable choice of new and different body areas to pierce carries an additional risk of serious morbidity. In particular, an increase in serious infection with Pseudomonas and Staphylococcus is associated with high ear piercing. Most commonly, infection occurs in newly pierced ears and during warm-weather months.
