RESUMO
La enuresis es un problema que afecta a un porcentaje importante de la población pediátrica desde los 5 a los 16 años, e incluso a adultos jóvenes, teniendo causas multifactoriales tanto desde el punto de vista de su origen, como de su perpetuidad en el tiempo. La pandemia COVID-19 motiva como herramienta de control al aislamiento social, una cuarentena que afecta los hábitos generales de los niños y niñas, produciendo un descontrol del ritmo circadiano, a partir de la desregulación horaria y la ansiedad secundaria. Esto atenta contra la evolución favorable de la enuresis y, a medida que la cuarentena se prolonga, es peor. En Argentina la cuarentena superó los 100 días, sin poder todavía mensurar el impacto desde el punto de vista de la enuresis. Proponemos herramientas para intentar disminuir los efectos del aislamiento y la cuarentena con el fin de no profundizar el problema o evitar las recaídas
Enuresis is a problem that affects a significant percentage of the pediatric population from 5 to 16 years of age, and even young adults, having multifactorial causes both from the point of view of its origin and its perpetuity over time. COVID-19 Pandemic motivates social isolation as a control tool and, in certain countries, a quarantine that affects boys and girls general habits, producing circadian rhythm lack of control, based on time dysregulation and anxiety in high school. This undoubtedly threatens enuresis favorable evolution and, as quarantine continues, it is worse. In Argentina, quarantine exceeded 100 days, especially in the geographic region with highest population density, without being able to measure the impact in terms of enuresis. That is why we propose tools to try to reduce the isolation effects and quarantine in order not to deepen the problem or avoid relapses

Blastocystis hominis is a common human parasite with infection rates up to 50% in developing countries, and giardiasis is the commonest intestinal one in Mexico. No doubt, various parasites as Giardia lamblia and Entamoeba histolytica can cause rheumatic diseases. This study coproparasitoscopic analysis evaluated the cysts by B. hominis, G. lamblia, E. hartmani, E. coli and E. histolytica in Mexican rheumatic disease patients. Also, ELISA was used to detect E. histolytica, Ascaris lumbricoides, Toxocara canis, and Trichinella spiralis in Mexican patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Thirty-six patients (24 with AS and 12 with RA) and 77 healthy control individuals were enrolled in this study. The frequencies of protozoan cysts were comparable in rheumatic disease patients (AS and RA) and healthy control donors (33 and 25 vs. 26%, respectively; p > 0.05). The frequency of antibodies to T. canis was significantly higher in AS patients than in healthy control donors (16 vs. 2.6%, respectively; p = 0.027), whereas no differences were observed for the prevalence of antibodies for the other parasites (E. histolytica, A. lumbricoides and T. spiralis) (p > 0.05). This information indicates the need to intensify educational efforts for the prevention of parasite infections associated with AS disease that cannot be controlled only by drugs.
