Piercing is defined as puncturing an organ in order to place a jewel in the perforated site. There is hardly any external organ in the human body that has escaped piercing. The origin of piercing traces back to the dawn of human history. Piercing is performed for decorative or symbolic purposes. Many different medical specialists are confronted with the increasingly popular practice of body piercing in their daily practice. Until recently body piercing was mainly confined to the ears and/or nose. In the last few years there has been a significant increase in the prevalence of body piercing. There are a lot of side effects, among them especially infections. The most important bacteria cultivated from such patients are Staphylococcus aureus and group A streptococci and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Viruses which can be transmitted by piercing are especially hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus. Besides local complications also systemic infections (sepsis, endocarditis) occur. The main aspects of diagnostics, therapy and prevention are discussed.
穿孔被定义为刺穿一个器官以便在穿孔部位放置珠宝。人体几乎没有哪个外部器官未被穿刺过。穿孔的起源可追溯到人类历史的开端。穿孔是出于装饰或象征目的而进行的。许多不同的医学专家在日常工作中都面临着日益流行的身体穿孔行为。直到最近，身体穿孔主要局限于耳朵和/或鼻子。在过去几年中，身体穿孔的患病率显著上升。穿孔有很多副作用，其中尤其以感染为主。从此类患者身上培养出的最重要细菌是金黄色葡萄球菌、A 组链球菌和铜绿假单胞菌。可通过穿孔传播的病毒尤其有乙型肝炎病毒和丙型肝炎病毒。除了局部并发症外，还会发生全身感染（败血症、心内膜炎）。本文讨论了诊断、治疗和预防的主要方面。
