【 摘 要 】

This article presents an analytical approach about media coverage on Folha de S.Paulo and O Globo of meningitis epidemic that broke out in 1971, and reached its peak in 1974. This epidemic comes at a time when Brazil was under the dictatorship and it was in the worst period, known as the "years of lead" (1968-1972). From a theoretical point of view, we have developed a discussion of the evolution of the concepts of "health", "disease" and “epidemics", in addition to a brief history of meningitis epidemic at the time. From the analysis of the newspapers, it appears as the disease has been reported, and also notes how at first she was barely released, with a jump in the number of publications and a major exhibition by the media since 1974.
