Scabies is now tormenting many people in Finland.
The Finnish Institute of Health and Welfare (THL) organized a press conference on the current scabies situation on Monday.
Medicinal cream containing permethrin is the most common treatment for scabies. However, according to experts, its effectiveness is not the best. So far, Finnish pharmacies lack more effective drugs, according to experts.
Treatment often fails
A study has been conducted in Austria in which a mutation has been detected in scabies mites, for which the treatment cream was not necessarily effective, says Hus’s chief skin diseases doctor Katariina Hannula-Jouppi.
A similar mutation has been observed in cats and dogs, meaning that the most commonly used treatment cream containing permethrin did not affect the patients. The treatment was successful when the treatment was intensified or the medicine was changed.
– What has been noticed in Hus, Tays and elsewhere, that scabies patients have increased. In Hus, the number of patients has even tripled in recent years. The situation is similar in Tays, Hannula-Jouppi says.
According to the senior doctor, scabies is increasing because the treatment often fails. Scabies is difficult to treat, there is shame about the disease, and not all family members may be treated with medication.
Medicine alone is not enough for treatment, but in addition, to get rid of scabies, you need a thorough house cleaning.
Experts also emphasize that it is not recommended to use scabies medicine for animals.
The patient will have to pay for the anti-scabies medicine

Fimea specialist Maid Vuorela says that pharmaceutical companies themselves decide whether they apply for a marketing authorization for a new drug. After that, it will be decided whether it will be brought to the Finnish market. Pharmaceutical companies decide the price and Fimea cannot influence it.
Reimo Palonen The Medicines Price Committee (Hila) commented on the Kela compensability of scabies medicines.
– The reimbursability of the medicine is requested from Hila, which makes a decision on reimbursability and price based on the application. Scabies medicines are not reimbursable because the holders have not applied for reimbursability or a wholesale price for them. That’s why the authorities can’t take the matter into consideration ex officio, Palonen says.
– The cost of the medicine remains to be paid by the patient or another party. The replaceability of society is not possible.
Guilty torture increased
Syphilis diagnoses have increased in Finland in recent years. According to THL’s statistics, more than 37,000 syphilitic diagnoses were recorded in Finland last year, compared to just over 21,000 a year earlier.
Professor of Dermatology, Emerita Erna Snellman previously commented to Iltalehti that the increase in cases seen in the scabies statistics is only a wave crest. According to Snellman, “the situation is probably worse”.
Many readers of Iltalehti have told about a long-standing syphilitic pain, the drugs needed to treat it have become expensive.

Albert Einstein died in 1955, when the brain also went on a pathologist’s journey without permission.
Albert Einstein did not want a circus to form around his earthly remains. Yle
The physicist Albert Einstein (1879–1955), who developed the theory of relativity, died at the age of 76 in the USA, where he and his wife had fled the Nazis.
The autopsy was performed by pathologist Thomas Harvey (1912–2007) in 1955. He proceeded according to the normal pattern – until he didn’t. Harvey sawed the skull open, reached in, removed the brain and stole it. He kept the brain and took it home. He didn’t make a fuss about it.
Prism in a science document Einstein’s brain let’s say something else: Harvey didn’t ask Einstein’s relatives for permission. They had to read in the newspaper that the brain is not cremated with the rest of the body. That’s when the journey took a turn.
The exact location of the brain is unknown. MICHELLE SHEPHARD, Yle
However, the matter was largely cleared up afterwards, and Einstein’s son gave Harvey a limited right to examine the brain for scientific purposes. Later, Harvey quit his job, moved, and took Einstein’s brain with him. Part of the reason could have been Einstein’s publicity. But wherever Harvey’s path leads, Einstein’s executor Otto Nathan tracked him down and asked for updates on how the investigation was progressing, or perhaps more accurately why the investigation wasn’t progressing.
Thomas Harvey tried to get many researchers interested in Einstein’s brain, but with poor results. Yle
And where is the brain these days?
– You can’t find that out, the neurologist and writer answers to the authors of the documentary Frederick Lepore.
But he is wrong. Dr. X, who remains anonymous and avoids publicity, is responsible for them. However, the guardian of Einstein’s brain agrees to present them to the TV cameras.
– These are the original cans in which Dr. Harvey stored all the parts of the brain in 1955 after the autopsy. The responsibility is great, says the faceless doctor.
