Abstract
It is well known that the most traditional method of swaddling the neonates is laying them onto the heated soil entitled as “höllük” in Anatolia for centuries. Some parts of Anatolia which have lower socioeconomic values still maintain this traditional method. We, herewith, would like to present 3 neonates who were swaddled via “höllük” and admitted to our hospital with different infectious diseases. Two of the neonates died because of tetanus infection and Eschericia coli septic shock. Key words: Höllük, Tetanus infection

Abstract
Anadolu'da geçmiş yüzyıllarda en sık kullanılan çocuk kundaklama yönteminin yenidoğan bebekleri höllük (öllük) denilen ısıtılmış toprağa sarılması olduğu bilinmektedir. Günümüzde düşük sosyoekonomik değerlere sahip kırsal bölgelerde bu gelenek halen devam ettirilmektedir. Bu makalede, höllüğe yatırılan ve sonrasında farklı patojenlere bağlı ciddi enfeksiyon tablosu ile hastanemize getirilen 3 olgu sunulmaktadır. Bu hastalardan ikisi tetanoz ve Eschericia coli sepsisine bağlı olarak kaybedildi. Anahtar kelimeler: Höllük, Tetanoz enfeksiyonu
